Prepare, don’t panic.
Florida storm watchers are urging residents to control weather reports over the weekend as a tropical wave winding through the Caribbean begins to choose up steam.
“Everyone living within the Gulf Coast ought to be being attentive to the forecast of this tropical disturbance,” Fox Weather meteorologist Geoff Bansen told The Post on Thursday.
Bansen said it’s too early to predict the intensity and course of the system.
The wave is anticipated to grow to be a tropical storm by the weekend and potentially construct right into a hurricane by next week.
Pablo Santos, chief meteorologist on the National Weather Service of Miami, cautioned Sunshine Staters to stay level-headed.
“We’re urging preparation,” he said. “It’s too early to inform what will occur.”
Florida has thus far been spared a hurricane this season, and residents are crossing their fingers the tropical wave doesn’t deal the Gulf Coast an unwelcome blow.
Santos said it’s a great time for Floridians to revisit their hurricane preparedness plans and remain vigilant.
If the system develops and impacts Florida, meteorologists said the brunt could be felt early next week.
