ORLANDO, Fla. — Channel 9 meteorologists are closely monitoring five areas of interest in the Atlantic as the tropics heat up. The latest update reveals that Tropical Storm Franklin has strengthened, with winds reaching 50mph. The storm is expected to impact Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico, bringing heavy rain, flooding, and mudslides. The Dominican Republic will also experience strong winds. Chief Meteorologist Tom Terry predicts that Tropical Storm Franklin will maintain its strength throughout Sunday night, continuing its path towards the southern Dominican Republic and Haiti. The storm is expected to bring 6-10 inches of rain, mudslides, and gusty winds on Tuesday. Puerto Rico is also expected to receive 2-6 inches of rain.
In addition to Tropical Storm Franklin, another storm named Emily has formed in the open Atlantic. However, it is not a threat to Central Florida and is expected to curve north and stay out at sea.
Meanwhile, meteorologist Kassandra Crimi warns that there is a possibility of a tropical wave near Florida developing into a tropical system as it moves into the Gulf of Mexico this week. Parts of South Texas should closely monitor this situation. Another tropical wave in the far eastern Caribbean is showing signs of organization and could potentially become a Tropical Depression early this week. Areas of the Central and Eastern Caribbean should expect heavy rain from this wave, with potential tropical impacts throughout the middle of the upcoming week.
It is important for residents in these areas to stay updated with the latest information and follow the instructions of local authorities. Channel 9 Eyewitness News will provide live updates on the developing tropical systems.
