National Hurricane Center forecasts tropics season fizzle out as cold front aims at Florida
Forecasters with the National Hurricane Center are sticking with their prediction of the 2023 hurricane season going out with a whimper this week as tropical cyclone formation is not expected during the next seven days in the Atlantic.
The 2023 Atlantic hurricane season ends Nov. 30.
But National Weather Service forecasters on Monday, Nov. 27, were watching a cold front that has emerged off Florida's northeast coast, extending down to Cape Canaveral. The front is expected to produce seas up to 8 feet and strong winds. It'll be the colder temperatures many in Florida will feel, with forecast lows dipping into the 40s from Central Florida north, with coastal South Florida remaining relatively warm. Areas around Tampa, then south to Fort Myers will also feel a bit of a chill with overnight temperatures in the 50s.
Chillier temperatures, with many in the 40s, are ahead Tuesday night, forecasters say, and in some Florida cities, including Tallahassee, Pensacola and Ocala, temperatures could dip into the 30s.
