Saturday Storm Update in the Gulf
Storm coverage in the Caribbean continues Saturday as the National Wether Service prepares the southeast for multiple ongoing storms in the next week.
With models for Hurricane Franklin currently showing the storm tracking up the Atlantic coast, the NWS is now telling those in the Gulf to move their attention to a disturbance currently near Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula and the island of Cuba.
