The National Hurricane Center in Miami has designated Tropical Depression # 1 out of a strong low pressure area off the Florida Coast near Miami. We are anticipating that this will become Named Storm Arthur within the next day.
Computer modeling is showing this storm starting to follow the Eastern Coast of Florida to the north-northeast in a matter of hours. As it does, it will intensify and most likely become the first Hurricane of the 2014 season as it follows the East Coast of the US from Florida up to New England over the next 4 to 7 days. We will post unofficial updates as this storm progresses. Please use the NHC link below for official advisories:
