The National Hurricane Center (NHC) has reported that Tropical Depression Ten is well-defined. This morning, the depression is near tropical storm strength as it moves across Cozumel.
Later today, it’s forecasted to become a tropical storm, potentially intensifying into a hurricane by Tuesday. There are no predictions of a tropical storm or hurricane for Sebastian, Florida. Nevertheless, heavy rainfall and some gusty winds are expected as the system tracks along the state’s west coast.
In the next 24 to 48 hours, the system is projected to journey north and then north-northeast across the Gulf of Mexico. The NHC anticipates it to be a Category 1 Hurricane by the time it nears Florida.
According to the NHC, “This track takes the system toward Florida and then near the southeastern coast of the U.S. The overnight model guidance is a bit farther west and slower than the last cycle, probably due to the depression being further south than anticipated.”
Floridians are advised to remain vigilant and stay updated on any modifications in the system’s forecasted intensity. As of the latest update, the depression carries maximum sustained winds of 35 mph, accompanied by stronger gusts.
