The National Hurricane Center lowered its prediction the season’s next tropical depression or storm would form in the Gulf of Mexico, but Florida is likely to get heavy rain next week

Confidence is unusually low on how the system will evolve, but chances of heavy rain in Florida this weekend and next week are increasing.

A tropical or subtropical depression or storm could form during the early to middle part of next week in the Gulf of Mexico.

A Florida county is warning homeowners about potential dangers from electric vehicles after floodwaters from Hurricane Helene resulted in a house burning down. The county shared a video on social media showing the moment a Tesla stood in water from the storm caught fire inside a family’s garage.

A video compilation of storm footage predates Hurricane Helene in late September but has been miscaptioned as showing that hurricane’s impact in Fort Myers, Florida.

DeSantis said the National Guard will "maintain order and, if possible, resume operations" at docks impacted by the ILA strike.

Gov. Ron DeSantis said Florida's National Guard and State Guard will deploy to the state's ports to restore operations amid the dockworkers strike and Hurricane Helene recovery.
