FLORIDA - As the 2024 hurricane season nears its official end on November 30th, the Atlantic basin shows no signs of slowing down.
A potential tropical system is brewing in the southwestern Caribbean Sea, fueled by a combination of warm ocean waters and atmospheric conditions.
The Madden-Julian Oscillation, a weather pattern that can significantly impact tropical development, is currently active and could further energize this system.
While the exact track and intensity of this potential storm remain uncertain, meteorologists are closely monitoring its development.
Florida, in particular, should remain vigilant.
While the state has historically seen fewer hurricanes in November, the unusually warm Caribbean waters and active weather patterns could increase the risk of late-season storms impacting the region.
It's important to note that while the potential for a late-season storm exists, the overall forecast for the next week in South Florida is relatively calm.
However, residents should stay informed and be prepared to take action if conditions deteriorate.
As always, it's crucial to heed warnings from local authorities and be ready to respond to changing weather conditions.
