Hurricane Season may more than two weeks away, but the Gulf of Mexico thinks otherwise.

Rainy season can't come soon enough for parts of Florida, and it will likely get an early start this year.

Hurricane season is still 28 days away, but the Atlantic waters are warming up and becoming more active.

Just days after two tornadoes touched down in Ft. Lauderdale, severe weather is once again threatening the Sunshine State.

Colorado State's Dr. Phil Kotzbach and Michael Bell issued their first forecast for the season ahead, and it could be another active year.

The potential exists for a significant outbreak of severe thunderstorms capable of producing a tornado, destructive wind gusts up to 70 mph, and hail as large as nickels.

The stormy start Monday morning is just the first of several rounds expected through Tuesday, and some of the storms could become severe.

For the second week in a row, a late-season frost or freeze is possible in parts of Florida as a persistent northwest wind will send shivers down the spines of spring-breakers from Pensacola to Miami.
