BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2024 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — Tropical Storm Gordon may end up being nothing much of anything. The system, currently well east of Florida, is expected to continue its trek west for a few days, then could degenerate into a tropical depression. At this point, it’s absolutely nothing to worry about for the eastern coast of the United States. That’s not the case, however, for a new system that may become something just off the northeast Florida coast. Here’s the Saturday morning update on that from the National Hurricane Center:
Tropical Weather Outlook NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 800 AM EDT Sat Sep 14 2024 For the North Atlantic… Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico: Active Systems: The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical Storm Gordon, located over the central tropical Atlantic Ocean.
