It's still too soon for an official forecast, but some experts are warning there's a chance the storm could take aim at Florida.
Should Tropical Storm Patty form in the Caribbean, AccuWeather meteorologists are warning that the storm could make landfall in Florida and the East Coast.There is still more than a month left in the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season, and the next storm will be named Patty. It would follow Hurricane Oscar, which hit Cuba on October 20, leaving six people dead.National Hurricane Center meteorologists are monitoring an area of concern in the Caribbean Sea.
Another possibility was the 'worst case scenario,' DaSilva said, in which a storm would be pulled toward Yucatan and then loop east toward Florida's west coast.'This is the worst case scenario for the U.S. because it would have more time over the Caribbean, more time to strengthen,' DaSilva said, adding that the warm water and low wind shear in the Caribbean offered favorable conditions for development.
