The National Hurricane Center has raised the likelihood of a rainstorm off Florida's coast developing into Tropical Storm Dexter from 10 percent to 40 percent. The storm is expected to make landfall in Florida with sustained winds under 38 mph but could strengthen significantly once over the Gulf. Heavy rainfall, flash flooding, and possible storm surges of up to three feet are anticipated. Businesses along the Gulf Coast should prepare for shipping and flight disruptions due to the developing storm conditions.
Heavy thunderstorms along the entire East Coast due to the tropical storm system already delayed thousands of flights on Monday, with ground stops issued at nearly a dozen major airports.
The cyclone is projected to start out as a tropical depression, with sustained winds under 38 mph. However, AccuWeather predicted it'll quickly grow in strength once it reaches the Gulf.
Regardless of classification, the storm will bring heavy rainfall and flash flooding to Louisiana and the central Gulf Coast, according to an urgent alert.
Businesses from Florida through the central Gulf Coast should prepare for shipping delays, flight disruptions and localized infrastructure strain due to the developing storm.
