Tropical Storm Michael Forms
October 7, 2018
Tropical Storm Michael formed Sunday morning. Complete details are in the graphics on this page.
The area of low pressure is centered just east of the Yucatan Peninsula, about 120 miles south of Cozumel, Mexico this evening. The system should slowly move northward and emerge into the southern Gulf of Mexico late Sunday night into Monday morning. A northward motion should continue across the east-central Gulf of Mexico through Tuesday, before a gradual northeastward turn is possible late Tuesday into Wednesday. The future track of the system remains highly uncertain. It is important to note that all of the northern Gulf Coast from southeast Mississippi to the western Florida Panhandle remains within the forecast cone.
Rain chances will be on the rise next week. A high risk of rip currents begins Monday and surf will also begin increasing early next week.
The system could bring storm surge, rainfall, & wind impacts to the northern Gulf Coast by mid-week depending on the track of the system. It is still too soon for specifics.

Just wondering what day they were going to close schools down for the huracane micheal
Scott declares a state of emergency? I wonder if the local school district will make a responsible decision on the right day this time. Let’s see, the storm will be here Wednesday so we’ll close down Tuesday or Thursday?
