Tropical Storm Matthew formed near the Windward Islands from a tropical low pressure wave. This storm is currently somewhat unpredictable due to a potential interaction with a cold front and low pressure area that is moving off the US Southeast coast. However, we are suggesting that all persons along the Gulf Coast, all of Florida and the East Coast of the US monitor the progress of this storm for safety reasons and early planning. We are monitoring it’s progress and will post updates as necessary.
UPDATE September 29: The National Hurricane Center has upgraded Matthew to Hurricane status. Multi Agency tracking projections are hinting that the low pressure area that is moving off the US East Coast will steer this system northerly and then northeast. However, the timing of this interaction is critical and we are still suggesting that everyone along the Gulf and East Coasts of the US monitor this Hurricane through the National Hurricane Center website URL below –
