The National Hurricane Center (NHC) announced on Wednesday, October 9, tropical development off the southeastern coast of Florida.
“Although environmental conditions appear only marginally favorable for additional development, a short-lived tropical or subtropical storm could form today or this evening while the low moves northeastward to east-northeastward at around 15 mph,” the NHC revealed. “Upper-level winds are forecast to increase later tonight, which should limit any chances for further development.”
If the tropical development turns into a full-fledged storm, it would likely be named Hurricane Nadine.
The NHC warned Florida residents that the time to evacuate their homes had passed before its anticipated landfall on October 10.
“With #HurricaneMilton on its way, today is the LAST day to evacuate,” the NHC tweeted on Tuesday, October 8. “The #stormsurge from the #hurricane will make it impossible for some to leave their area.”
