Welcome back to my blog and in this post, I want to talk about the almost certain possibility that the first tropical storm of the year will form by this weekend.
Currently, there is an organised disturbance near Belize and Cuba that is headed for the Florida Panhandle. It could hit anywhere from New Orleans, Louisiana to Key West, Florida in the United States. Even if a tropical storm does not form (which is unlikely now considering the fact that it has at least a 70% chance of formation as of writing), it will still dump a lot of rain to South Florida. Over 6" of rain could fall by the end of this week, which is a stark contrast to the drought-filled winter of 2017/18 that South Florida received.
If this storm does form, it is likely that it will not be very powerful, and may not even reach Category 1 status, due to the fact that the sea has not warmed up enough and therefore has minimal energy to form. Still, hurricanes can form even before the official start of hurricane season on June 1st. The name for the storm, should it form, will be Tropical Storm Alberto.
Also in other news, I have decided to change the name of my Twitter from 'jackfawsittpix' to simply 'jackfpix' for two reasons. One, the new name is a lot simpler to type out, and two, this can correlate well with my Facebook page, which I have also named 'jackfpix'.
Thank you for reading this post, and if there are any more updates, then I will either post them below this sentence, or create a brand new post with the additional information.
