According to meteorologists, the state of Florida, which recently experienced the deadly Hurricane Milton, may be affected again by Hurricane Petty. However, experts cannot yet predict exactly when this might happen.
US hurricane watchers say Hurricane Petty is approaching in the Caribbean and will likely reach the US. Daily mail writes about this.
AccuWeather meteorologists are monitoring the disturbance, which may strengthen as it moves toward the central or western U.S., where conditions are most favorable for it to develop.
“Most of the wind next week will shift north, essentially creating high ocean temperatures, a lot of moisture and very little wind shear, which will be favorable for tropical cyclone development,” said leading hurricane expert Alex DaSilva.
There are two potential paths this storm could take: one to the west, the other to the north.
The westerly track is unlikely to affect the United States, but could impact southern Florida if the storm gains momentum over the next seven days.
“November storms in the Caribbean generally move north or northeast, which means residents and visitors to the Carolinas from Florida (including the Gulf Coast) should keep a close eye on developments,” DaSilva said. he said.
This has led the National Hurricane Center (NHC) to slightly increase the likelihood of a tropical storm forming within the next seven days.
The document states that rough seas and heavy rain are expected in the Caribbean next week, regardless of whether a hurricane forms.
The storm formed slowly due to strong winds in the area.
“This has created a very unfavorable environment for showers and thunderstorms that could develop into a tropical hazard. There’s not a lot of dry air, so what’s holding it back is really just wind shear,” DaSilva said. DaSilva explained.
However, this wind shift is expected to change next week and create favorable conditions for the development of the hurricane.
Meteorologists say if this storm starts to organize it will be very slow, but it can intensify quickly once it becomes a hurricane.
Experts say it’s too early to tell exactly when Hurricane Petty will hit south Florida.
If Petty moves towards Florida, residents of that state will have to prepare for the fourth storm in the last three months, as the region was previously affected by hurricanes Debbie, Helen and Milton, which hit Florida in August, September and October, respectively. .
Although the Atlantic hurricane season is coming to an end, AccuWeather meteorologists warn that up to three more hurricanes could form before it officially ends on November 30.
Let’s remember, on October 30, Science Alert reported that one of the rarest hurricanes in history would hit the Earth.
Focus He wrote that at least 10 people died and millions of people were left without electricity in the USA due to Hurricane Milton.
