🌀 Tropical Weather Update – Friday, Oct 3, 2025

𝐀𝐭𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜:

A weak system near the Bahamas will linger close to Florida and the Bahamas into the weekend. While it’s not expected to develop into a storm, it could bring heavy rain and locally gusty winds to the region.

A tropical wave moving off Africa could slowly strengthen as it moves west. There’s a chance a tropical depression could form near or east of the Lesser Antilles late next week.

𝐄𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧 𝐏𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜:

Tropical Storm Octave is well southwest of Baja California and is not a threat to land right now.

Off the coast of southwest Mexico, another system (EP99) is very likely to become a tropical depression later today or tomorrow. It will move slowly offshore, but could bring rain, rough seas, and gusty winds along the coast.

A second system could form south of Mexico by mid-next week, though chances are low for now.

✅ Bottom line: Heavy rain possible in Florida, the Bahamas, and parts of coastal Mexico. Stay alert if you’re in these areas and keep up with the latest at hurricanes.gov
