The National Hurricane Center is now forecasting Tropical Storm Dorian to become a hurricane prior to landfall in Florida Sunday.

Tropical storm conditions are possible in Florida this weekend, but the where, when, and extent of those impacts can not be credibly projected at this time.

Potential effects from Dorian in Florida are highly uncertain, especially considering how many unknowns there are in the forecast at this time.

A new tropical depression formed over 2000 miles away from the United States Saturday, and it’s likely to be of more interest to Floridians than one forming in their own backyard.

A tropical wave became better organized near The Bahamas Thursday, and the National Hurricane Center says a tropical depression or storm could form east of Florida this weekend.

Showers and thunderstorms will become more numerous at times across the Florida peninsula by the end of the week thanks to an approaching tropical wave.

Repeating rounds of heavy rain could produce flooding across portions of the Florida Panhandle Monday.

It has been raining for days along Florida’s Big Bend and Nature Coast, where widespread flooding is ongoing and getting worse.
