The first day of hurricane season is off to a rousing start all around Florida with a former Pacific hurricane having very likely odds of reforming and a second system developing just off Florida’s east coast, the National Hurricane Center said Wednesday morning.
First, a large area of disturbed weather, which was the remnants of the Pacific storm, Hurricane Agatha, has a 70% chance of reforming into a tropical storm in the next two days and a 80% chance of doing so in the next five, the NHC said in its 8 a.m. update. If the storm reforms it will take on the name Alex.
On Monday, Agatha — the first storm of the Pacific hurricane season, which started May 15 — took form as Category 2 hurricane and made landfall in Puerto Angel, Mexico. The storm dissipated Tuesday over the rough Mexican terrain.
