The first organized tropical system of the 2022 Atlantic hurricane season could form as soon as Thursday, AccuWeather forecasters said. On the eve of the official June 1 start date to the tropical season in the basin, meteorologists said there was now a “high” chance of a depression or tropical storm forming in the warm waters from Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula to around the Florida Peninsula.
Meteorologists say there is already some risk that the burgeoning tropical rainstorm, which would be called Alex once it hits the 39-mph maximum sustained winds threshold for a tropical storm, could cross Florida at the end of this week and then the northern Bahamas this weekend.
