Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has declared a state of emergency in 33 counties in preparation for the potential impact of a weather system that the National Hurricane Center (NHC) warns is becoming better organized and could become a tropical storm with dangerous consequences.
The weather system—an area of low pressure dubbed Invest 93L—that is located in the northwestern Caribbean Sea and eastern Gulf of Mexico near Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula continued to become better organized on Saturday.
