Looks To Be Gulf-Bound. Potential Problem For Florida’s West Coast?
BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2025 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — It’s way too early for concern, but there is a notable new tropical wave being monitored by the National Hurricane Center. The arrow, part of the official tracking map, suggests the system will head into the Gulf of Mexico. The question then: will it develop, and if it does, will it turn to the north and potentially become a problem for Florida?
Here is the afternoon update from the NHC:
