Florida Warning

Something for my Florida friends:
The “Broad Area” mentioned below may head towards Florida. It’s still a number of days away from landfall, and I’d guess it would affect Florida’s east coast, not its west. But with several storms already the season, it’s inevitable that one would eventually head towards Florida. The early forecasts suggest a tropical storm, not a hurricane, but these forecasts are too distant in time to be reliable. So keep an eye open!
