The disturbance will make its way into the Gulf of Mexico early in the week and continue to develop.
Where it goes and how strong it becomes remain to be seen.
Crimi said that the GFS model currently projects the storm will eventually move toward Florida’s Panhandle, while the Euro model has the storm heading toward Florida’s Big Bend area.
