Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The storm's movement and associated heavy rainfall led to widespread power outages in Florida and Alabama. Storm surge warnings and coastal flooding along the Northern Gulf Coast could lead to operational shutdowns and infrastructure damage.

Forecasters are monitoring cyclone formation offshore Mexico, noting warm El Niño waters may lead to an above-normal tropical season.
