Just after recovering from Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton, Florida may see another disaster; Tropical Storm Leslie. The National Hurricane Center reported at approximately 6:14 p.m., on Oct. 13, that a well-defined of low pressure could become the next tropical depression in the Atlantic.

However, the storm may weaken as it moves west. Its chance of formation, through 48 hours, is low at 10%. Its formation chance, through seven days, is medium at 40%. 

 Both Helene and Milton made landfall after gaining strength in the Gulf of Mexico in just 13 days. In less than two weeks, many areas of Florida saw significant damage.

Many citizens of Florida hope that this new potential storm passes by, sparing more destruction. The storm moves at a pace of 10 mph throughout the West-Southwest of the Azores. There are no current threats or warnings in place, so Tropical Storm Leslie does not pose a threat to land at present.

Civilians should continue to track the storm in case it picks up the pace and gains momentum. Hurricane season will come to a close on Nov. 30, wrapping up the disastrous season Florida as seen thus far.
