Prepare, don’t panic.
Florida Hurricane Spectators are urging residents To keep an eye on weather reports over the weekend as a tropical wave winds through the Caribbean begins to pick up steam.
“Everyone living in the Gulf Coast should heed the forecast for this tropical disturbance,” Fox Weather meteorologist Geoff Bunsen told The Post on Thursday.
Banson said it was too early to predict the intensity and course of the system.
This wave is expected to develop into a tropical storm by the weekend and potentially into a hurricane by next week.
Miami’s National Weather Service chief meteorologist Pablo Santos warned Sunshine staters will remain level-headed,
“We are urging preparations,” he said. “It is too early to tell what is going to happen.”
Florida has survived one hurricane so far this season, and residents are keeping their fingers crossed that the tropical wave doesn’t deal an unwanted blow to the Gulf Coast.
Santos said it is a good time for Floridians to rethink their hurricane preparedness plans and remain vigilant.
If the system develops and affects Florida, meteorologists said the brunt would be felt early next week.
