Florida in Projected Path for Another Tropical Storm

The one thing we always tell people about Florida weather is that it’s unpredictable.

Although the recent Tropical Storm Fred will likely just skirt Florida’s west coast this weekend, there’s another storm behind it headed towards the state.

According to the Orlando Sentinel, there’s a system east of Florida that’s currently a tropical depression. It’s expected to become Tropical Storm Grace and it looks like it could reach Florida by the middle of next week.

Currently, a Tropical Storm Watch has been issued for the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, including Vieques and Culebra, Anguilla, the British Virgin Islands, St. Martin, and St. Barthelemy.

The long-range forecast shows that this will be a weak tropical storm that will hit the Florida Straits by Wednesday with an estimate of up to 45 mph sustained winds.

As always, we’ll keep an eye on the weather and let you know how it could impact your Disney World trip.
