Jerry is forecast to become the next hurricane of the season; luckily, it will stay over the open Atlantic waters. Why are the storms turning?

While the Gulf Coast deals with rough, dangerous seas, the Atlantic Coast's King Tides produce coastal flooding that is exacerbated by strong winds.

Officials across South Florida, which has been saturated by rain throughout September, continue to keep an eye on an unnamed weather system gaining strength in the Caribbean.

Megan Borowski, senior meteorologist with the Florida Public Radio Emergency Network, and WUSF News Director Mary Shedden share lessons learned from last year's devastating hurricanes.

The eighth named storm of the season receives a name, and there might be another one being named in the next few days.

Storms' intensity, proximity, and size matter, and there could be significant implications if two storms merge.

As Hurricane Gabrielle moves away, Invest 93 and Invest 94 are showing signs of organization, which could develop into the subsequent two named storms by this weekend. The tropic is alive!

While Gabrielle is not expected to impact Florida, two other disturbances in the Atlantic bear watching over the next week.

Two weeks can bring many changes in the drought. South Florida's constant stream of downpours put a good dent in the drought, but the Panhandle drought has doubled and tripled in the first two categories. The outlook seems promising.

Across Florida, summer heat has generally been extended by about a week and a half to two weeks. This is based on a Climate Central analysis using data from the National Weather Service between 1970 and 2024.
