Hurricane Tammy, currently a Category 1 hurricane, has multiple potential paths according to spaghetti models, including landfall in Florida or North Carolina, or veering into the Atlantic. Spaghetti models represent different weather model forecasts and help compare predictions. The uncertainty in Tammy's path is due to factors such as the placement of middle latitude troughs and the storm's interaction with them. Late-season hurricanes like Tammy are more likely to interact with troughs, making their tracks more uncertain. The National Hurricane Center forecasts Tammy to move west towards Bermuda and weaken in the coming days.
Tropical Storm Idalia is approaching Florida as the tenth named storm of the 2023 Atlantic hurricane season. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has declared a state of emergency for half the state due to the expected heavy rainfall, gusty winds, and storm surge. The FOX Forecast Center is actively tracking the storm's projected path, watches and warnings, predicted rainfall totals, and more. Residents are advised to stay updated on the latest information and complete hurricane preparations in a timely manner.
Tropical Depression 10 has the potential to impact South Carolina and Georgia next week, with the latest spaghetti models, cone, and track indicating its possible path.
The National Hurricane Center is tracking two tropical disturbances in the Atlantic. Invest 96L, located east of the Leeward Islands, is likely to become a tropical depression or storm soon. Invest 97L, located off the U.S. Mid-Atlantic coast, is less likely to develop into a tropical cyclone. The impacts to land from these disturbances are currently minimal, but rough surf and strong rip currents may affect the East coast beaches. Residents are advised to monitor the tropics and be prepared.
