The National Hurricane Center has identified a new area of interest in the tropical Atlantic, which could potentially develop as it moves toward Florida. According to the NHC, a region of disturbed weather is expected to interact with an approaching tropical wave over the next several days. This sizeable tropical wave, which recently moved off the west coast of Africa, is projected to continue its westward movement.

However, this system’s exact path and development remain uncertain, as it is still too early to make definitive predictions. Meteorological models show varied outcomes; some indicate the possibility of a tropical formation near Florida next week, while others show no development. Meteorologists at WESH 2 First Warning closely monitor the system as it progresses westward.
As it moves across the tropics, the tropical system will encounter significant dry air and dust, which could potentially weaken or dismantle it entirely.

While the exact path and development of this system remain uncertain, it is prudent for visitors to stay informed. The system will encounter dry air and dust as it moves across the tropics, which could weaken it, but the situation requires close observation. Meteorologists from WESH 2 First Warning are tracking the system and will provide timely updates.
Guests should follow these updates and be prepared for possible changes in weather conditions, which could affect outdoor activities at Disney World and other theme parks in the region. Staying informed will ensure visitors can adjust their plans and prioritize their safety.
Don’t Get Caught off Guard, Plan Ahead
Disney World guests can take several steps during their visit to prepare for potential hurricanes or tropical storms. First, staying informed is crucial.

Another important step is packing essential items. Guests should include rain gear, extra clothing, snacks, water, and necessary medications. It’s wise to have portable chargers for electronic devices to ensure communication remains open in case of power outages.
In the event of a hurricane or tropical storm, guests should follow instructions from Disney World staff and local authorities. This may include taking shelter in designated areas within the park or resort.
Disney World has comprehensive emergency protocols to ensure the safety of its guests, including evacuation plans if necessary. Guests should remain calm, stay indoors, and avoid venturing out until the storm has passed and it is deemed safe by authorities.
