BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) — There are now two tropical waves in the Atlantic that should be watched closely by those in Florida and along the Gulf Coast. The first wave, which we reported on this morning, continues on a five-day path that appears to be Florida-bound. We stress it’s early. Paths change.
Report Now Updated With 8pm Advisory From National Hurricane Center on August 27, 2020.
The second wave, which just developed Thursday afternoon, is on a five-day path into the Gulf — seemingly like Hurricane Laura. Again, it’s early and there is no need to panic. But this is the time of year that all waves should be watched closely.
The five-day tracks change often — the National Hurricane Center map above is meant to inform, not to scare.
