It's hurricane season, and tropical storms tend to form in June in the Gulf and the far western Atlantic, east of Florida. They are often big rainmakers. These are the areas known for tropical storm formation in June. wuft.org/weather/2025-0…

A series of fronts just north of the area and plenty of Gulf moisture will keep the chance for numerous showers and storms for days, increasing the flash flood risk. The peninsula will be in a summer-like pattern, heat & storms. wuft.org/weather/2025-0…

It's that time of year! The heat is on, and this week, Florida will be toasty! Heat indices will be in the triple digits. Do you know the difference between heat exhaustion and heat stroke? wuft.org/weather/2025-0…

It's been a slow start to the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, but this does not mean that the season will be slow. This is what we are monitoring and how the MJO plays a role. wuft.org/weather/2025-0…

Tropical Depression Two formed in the southern Gulf, and it will stay away from Florida. Much of the southern half of the state will remain under the influence of Saharan Dust, but there's still plenty of moisture and heat to spark afternoon thunderstorms.

Storms continue to reign in Florida this week. The wet pattern brings the chance for flash floods across the West Coast. We continue to monitor a system that has a medium chance of developing, but *if* it does, it will be east of Florida late this weekend into early next week.
