However, attention is turning to the tropics, as a named storm in the Gulf of Mexico is forecast to bring rain and wind to the area starting Thursday.

Tropics Update:

A broad area of low pressure in the Caribbean has a high chance of developing into a tropical system as it moves into the Gulf of Mexico. Current forecasts suggest the storm will approach the northeast Gulf of Mexico coastline on Thursday. Tropical watches and warnings may be issued for the Yucatan Peninsula and Cuba later today or tonight.

Jacksonville could see clouds, rain, wind, and rough seas as early as Thursday, with the system expected to move away from the area by Friday. There’s still plenty of time to monitor the situation and refine the forecast. The next name on the storm list is “Helene.”
