Will Florida Take Another Pounding? AccuWeather Forecasts Potential Hurricane Threats in Gulf Region

AccuWeather forecasts suggest that Florida may still face significant hurricane threats this season. Although the official hurricane season runs until November, the persistently warm waters in the southern Atlantic could extend storm activity into December. AccuWeather’s models indicate that two major storms could form in the Caribbean, potentially following paths through the Gulf of Mexico toward the western coast of Florida—similar to the recent trajectories of Hurricanes Milton and Helene. Major population centers such as Miami, Tampa, Houston, and New Orleans are vulnerable if these storms materialize, while sparsely populated areas like the Yucatán Peninsula are also at risk. Florida’s hurricane readiness remains crucial as the season progresses, with late-season storms having limited yet potentially devastating paths through these highly populated Gulf regions.
