TROPICS WATCH: WHAT\u2019S BREWING THIS WEEK?<\/b><\/p>\n
The calendar says late June, and the Atlantic isn\u2019t wasting any time reminding us hurricane season is wide awake.<\/p>\n
Right now, eyes are on a couple of areas in the tropics, and while nothing is an immediate threat to Florida, here\u2019s what you should know:<\/p>\n
\ud83c\udf0a Atlantic Disturbance:<\/b> Showers and storms are stirring up associated with a low pressure system about 900 miles ENE of Bermuda, and could develop later today. As of now, it\u2019s a 70% chance over the next 48 hours and the next 7 days.<\/p>\n
\ud83c\udf34 African Wave Train Starting Up:<\/b>It\u2019s a little early, but the tropical waves rolling off Africa are starting to perk up. While none of them show signs of development just yet, this signals the gradual ramp-up toward the heart of hurricane season in August and September.<\/p>\n
\ud83d\udca1 The Bigger Picture:<\/b>We\u2019re still in a building La Ni\u00f1a pattern \u2014 which historically means less wind shear and a more active Atlantic basin. It doesn\u2019t guarantee storms for us, but it does mean the environment is becoming more favorable for systems to form.<\/p>\n
Bottom Line:<\/b>No threats to Jacksonville or Florida right now \u2014 but the tropics are stirring, and this is the time to stay informed, check your hurricane kit, and remember\u2026 quiet tropics in June often flip the script later in summer.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll be tracking every development \u2014 candid, clear, and without the hype. Stay with News4JAX for updates.<\/p>\n
