A Powerful Storm Hitting Florida And The East Coast
This weekend, a powerful storm is forecasted to move from the Gulf of Mexico into Florida and up the East Coast. The exact track and strength of the powerful storm will determine its severity, which remains uncertain.
There are two potential scenarios: one where the powerful storm reaches the Florida Panhandle and inland, and another where it comes closer to the Florida Peninsula and the coast. The areas most at risk for flooding rain and gusty winds due to the powerful storm on Saturday are Florida, the Gulf Coast, and the Southeast.
Additionally, there is a possibility of severe thunderstorms and coastal hazards as a result of the powerful storm. Governor Ron DeSantis has taken action by activating the state guard and instructing emergency management to prepare for the powerful storm.
According to a published article by CNN, in South Florida, heavy rain and gusty winds brought by the powerful storm will heighten the risk of flash flooding, while strong winds from the powerful storm will lead to coastal flooding and dangerous surf conditions.
