Potential Tropical Cyclone Nine, which used to be wave 94-L, formed on Friday evening.
Here’s what you need to know about what’s going on in the tropics, from the First Alert Weather Team:
- Humberto is over the Central Atlantic & becoming a “major” Category 3+ hurricane while moving northwest & will stay out to sea.
- Potential Tropical Cyclone 9 is moving toward the Southern Bahamas. Slow development is expected and a tropical storm (Imelda) should eventually develop over the weekend near the Bahamas.
- The storm should move east of Florida and Jacksonville through early Monday, followed by a possible Carolina landfall later Monday into Tuesday, when it may be at hurricane strength.
- Local impacts *appear* to be minor (mainly beaches with rough seas & surf, gusty winds) though certainly subject to change depending on exact track & intensity. Always more: “Talking the Tropics With Mike”.
