Arab Weather - The fourteenth tropical depression formed in the Gulf of Mexico, accompanied by large amounts of thunderstorms that are expected to gain the necessary nutrition from the surface temperature of the warm Gulf waters, causing it to develop into a tropical storm and later a tropical hurricane threatening the state of Florida, only one week after Hurricane Helen crossed the region.

 

Initial indications show severe impacts of the hurricane on the state of Florida

 

According to the advanced numerical computer modeling at the Arab Weather Center, the state of Florida will be in the path of the hurricane and its direct impact around the middle of the week. The same computer outputs indicate that the hurricane will head east after developing in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico after gaining energy and moisture from the temperature of the Gulf waters, which is about 30 degrees Celsius, thus threatening the coasts of Florida, where the hurricane is expected to be accompanied by very large amounts of rain, in addition to its strong winds and rough sea waves.

 

It is worth noting that the Atlantic hurricane season extends from the beginning of June until the end of November of each year, and the hurricane season varies from one year to another, as tropical cases stagnate and are below normal in some seasons, while they may be more deadly and active in other seasons.

 

Second Hurricane After Helene Threatens Third Most Populous State

 

The tropical cyclone is threatening the third-most populous state in the United States, Florida, with a population of more than 22 million. Local authorities may be preparing for the possibility of a direct impact from the hurricane in the coming days. Meteorologists are closely monitoring the formation, path and development of the hurricane to determine its strength as it approaches land.

 

National Hurricane Center warns of hurricane reaching Florida coast midweek

 

“There is an increased risk of tropical cyclone impacts developing over the Gulf of Mexico and associated high waters over portions of the west coast of the Florida peninsula beginning Tuesday evening and through Wednesday,” the National Hurricane Center said. The tropical system is expected to move east or northeast toward southwest or central Florida, and the NHC expects the system to reach Florida as a Category 2 or 3 hurricane.

 

This system is likely to pass south of Big Bend, Florida, and is not expected to bring a high tide of the same magnitude as Hurricane Helene. However, some areas that experienced Helene's surge could see another surge from this system, especially from Pinellas County to Naples. There is a slight chance that the surge could be higher in some areas, especially in the south.

 

God knows best.
