Tropical Depression Nine Expected To Strengthen Today

FPREN

Tropical Depression Nine is expected to become Tropical Storm Hermine later today in the southeastern Gulf of Mexico and meteorologist say it could intensify before landfall.

 

“The storm is moving over very warm water and winds aloft have lightened quite a bit,” said Florida Public Radio Emergency Network Meteorologist Jeff Huffman. “There is a window over the next 48 hours for some intensification. It could be a strong tropical storm by tomorrow afternoon as it starts to accelerate northeastward.”

The National Hurricane Center is projecting the storm to make landfall in north Florida Thursday. A complete list of possible local weather hazards from the soon-to-be storm is available on our mobile app Florida Storms, a service of the Florida Public Radio Emergency Network.
