Though a lot can change in the coming days, a newly formed tropical depression in the Central Caribbean is expected to form into a hurricane by early next week, and Florida is currently in the cone of uncertainty. According to the early Friday morning advisory from the National Hurricane Center, the ninth tropical depression of the year formed last night and is currently east-southeast of Jamaica headed west-northwest at 13 mph, with 35 mph winds. “Only slow intensification is forecast over the next day or so, followed by more significant intensification over the weekend and early next week,” says the NHC.
