Watch, Wait, Hope. Conditions ripe for possible tropical storm this weekend.

Paul Close of the National Hurricane Center (NHC) advised at 2 pm on June 1, 2022, that Floridians face a 70% chance of development by former Hurricane Agatha. Once it crosses into the Gulf of Mexico, the Tropical Depression will be named Alex.

A rare storm at best, with the Gulf waters already above 80, the latest report from the NHC reports an 80% development chance by Friday evening.

We have not yet learned if the Hurricane and Safety Expo will canceled. It is to be held on June 4th. https://www.hernandosun.com/events/hurricane-and-safety-expo/ We’ll send updates as we receive them.
