Hurricane Milton was moving away from the east coast of Florida on Thursday, October 10th, but as all Floridians know, the season isn’t over and we need to continue to watch the tropics for other systems that may be brewing.
There is a tropical wave off the coast of Africa, which has been given a 40% formation, but the National Hurricane Center says conditions are set to become less favorable, and advanced development is not likely.
But what has been flooding social media in the days leading up to Milton’s landfall is rumors of “Nadine.” Let’s get the facts.
Meteorologist Eric Burris took to social media to deliver facts about the flurry of concern.
“There is no system that is currently organized and heading to Central Florida,” he said.
Burris acknowledged that computer models have “hinted” at something forming in the Gulf of Mexico, but stressed that this should not be taken lightly.
“You’re talking about something that is 360 to 370 hours out,” he said. “The models hinted at something. They hint at stuff all the time. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn’t.”
