BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2021 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — Welcome to Hurricane Season 2021. While it doesn’t officially start until June 1st, the National Hurricane Center is already tracking a tropical wave — it has a 40 percent chance of development.
The odds of it affecting South Florida are somewhere between none and less than none, but it’s a reminder that it is never too early to prepare for hurricane season — and anything that it may bring.
From the National Hurricane Center:
“A non-tropical low pressure system is forecast to develop a few hundred miles northeast of Bermuda by tomorrow afternoon and produce gale-force winds. The low is then forecast to move west-southwestward over warmer waters on Friday and could become a short-lived subtropical cyclone over the weekend to the northeast of Bermuda.
