Multiple tropical systems, including remnants of hurricanes Priscilla and Octave and a developing storm off Mexico, are causing a prolonged flood threat in the Desert Southwest, with Arizona facing a potential major flood risk by the end of the week.
The weather in Orlando and Central Florida will be hot and sunny, with temperatures reaching the low to mid 90s and heat indices between 104 to 107 degrees. Storm chances are unlikely on Saturday but slightly higher on Sunday. Tropical moisture is expected to increase early next week, with a tropical system likely developing and heading towards the Gulf coast of Florida. The system is forecasted to become a tropical storm and bring strong winds to Central Florida, particularly areas closest to the Gulf. Rainfall may reach 3-5 inches with flooding possible. Tropical Storm Franklin is expected to develop into a strong hurricane but remain out at sea.
Multiple potential tropical systems are developing in the Atlantic Basin, including the Gulf of Mexico, with four areas showing a range of formation chances.
The National Hurricane Center is currently tracking four systems that have the potential to develop into tropical depressions or storms. These systems include two in the Atlantic, one in the central tropical Atlantic, and one near Hispaniola that could move into the Gulf of Mexico. The system farthest away has the highest chance of formation, while the others have varying chances. Meanwhile, the eastern Pacific has already seen the formation of Hurricane Hilary, which is expected to move towards Baja California and potentially impact California and Arizona. The Atlantic hurricane season is predicted to be above-normal, with the NHC forecasting 14-21 named storms and 6-11 hurricanes.
The National Hurricane Center is monitoring two systems in the eastern Atlantic that have the potential for development. One tropical wave off the coast of Africa has a 30% chance of development over the next seven days, while the second system has a 20% chance. Forecasters are also keeping an eye on two tropical waves in the Caribbean. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicts an above-normal level of activity for the 2023 Atlantic hurricane season, with 14-21 named storms expected. It is too early to determine if these systems will impact the U.S.
The National Hurricane Center is monitoring two areas of interest in the Atlantic. One area of low pressure in the eastern tropical Atlantic has a 20% chance of development in the next seven days, while the second area, located off the Cabo Verde Islands, also has a 20% chance of development. Slow development is possible for both systems as they move west-northwestward or northwestward across the Atlantic.
Houston is under a heat advisory with temperatures in the mid-90s and heat index values up to 110. Storm chances are expected through Friday, with a low severe weather risk. Two tropical systems are being tracked in the Atlantic, but neither pose a threat to the US. Temperatures will climb to the upper 90s and triple digits again by next week.
Forecasters are monitoring the development of one and potentially two tropical systems over what have been record warm waters between the Caribbean and West Africa, and the National Hurricane Center is forecasting the first will more than likely grow into Hurricane Bret. The appearance of the two systems in June is unusual, and abnormally warm water is expected to play a major role as this year’s hurricane season unfolds. Two tropical storms in June would be unprecedented for the region, according to Weather.com.
