Florida State

The system we have been monitoring gained a bit of strength and became a tropical depression late last night. Tropical Depression 4 will emerge over the Florida Straits on Saturday and travel over the very warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The track has shifted westward, with a more pronounced curve which keeps it over the warm waters a bit longer and gives it more time to become stronger. It also delayed its landfall, and it is now expected to make landfall early on Monday morning in the Big Bend region, as a strong tropical storm or category 1 hurricane. A hurricane watch is in effect for the Big Bend. This means hurricane conditions will start within the next 48 hours. A tropical storm warning is in effect from Southwest Florida through the Tampa Bay area to Inglis.

A hurricane watch has been issued for part of Florida as a strengthening tropical system, soon to become Tropical Storm Debby, approaches the state over the weekend. Tropical Depression Four is forecast to strengthen while moving northward along the Florida Peninsula's Gulf coast this weekend, spreading rain, gusty winds and severe thunderstorms slowly northward. AccuWeather meteorologists warn that not only may the feature become a hurricane, but it may also later stall along the southeastern United States coast next week.
