Caribbean shows potential tropical development by middle of next week
SUMMARY: Fox 35 Storm Team meteorologist Laurel Blanchard provided an update on tropical developments, noting two key zones of interest: one in the central Atlantic with a 50% chance of development, near Bermuda, and another in the Southern Caribbean with a 30% chance. The central Atlantic system isn’t expected to threaten the US. However, the Caribbean system poses a potential threat to Florida, as warm ocean waters near 86°-87° could facilitate rapid development. A low pressure may form early next week. With the hurricane season ongoing, the next named storms include Helen, Isaac, Joyce, and Kirk.
The FOX 35 Storm Team is monitoring two zones for potential tropical development. The first is in the Southern Caribbean, where there’s a 30% chance of a system forming in the next seven days. While models vary on the possible strength and path of the storm, warm ocean temperatures in the region could lead to rapid development if a system forms. The second zone, in the central Atlantic, has a 50% chance of forming within the week but is expected to remain in open waters, posing no threat to the U.S.

SUMMARY: The Orlando Dreamers have secured nearly $1.5 billion in funding to pursue a Major League Baseball team, marking a significant step for the initiative. Co-founder Jim Schnorf announced that investors have provided preliminary commitments, signaling serious intent to bring baseball to Central Florida. This funding is separate from the $1 billion earmarked for a proposed stadium near SeaWorld. As the Tampa Bay Rays struggle with their current stadium situation, Dreamers are watching closely, confident that Orlando is a prime location for an MLB franchise, whether through relocation or expansion.

Tax Cut Disagreement Threatens to Extend Florida’s Legislative Session
SUMMARY: As Florida’s legislative session nears its end, lawmakers are at an impasse over a tax cut package, with only seven days remaining. The main issue revolves around budget negotiations, specifically the details and extent of tax cuts. Both Senate President Ben Albritton and House Speaker Danny Perez acknowledge philosophical differences in their approaches. The House proposed a cut to the sales tax while concerns arose about reallocating tourism funds. Governor Ron DeSantis favors property tax reductions. Despite tensions, leaders are hopeful for an agreement before the new budget deadline of July 1.

SUMMARY: A Florida woman, Amanda Clark, was arrested for allegedly starting multiple fires during a burn ban. While the Forest Service was working to contain an existing fire near Oberry Hoover Drive, a worker witnessed Clark igniting new flames and instructed her to stop, but she continued. A nearby resident called 911 after seeing heavy smoke. Concerns grew in Palm Bay as additional fires emerged, prompting police to monitor the area. Assistant Fire Chief John Ringleb noted that multiple smoke columns appeared too dispersed to be linked. Palm Bay has since implemented a burn ban and plans to enforce it.
A woman was arrested Wednesday in Orange County for allegedly setting multiple fires during an active burn ban, according to deputies. Forestry officials say they witnessed Amanda Clark starting fires near a residence and recorded video evidence before she was taken into custody. She was booked into the Orange County Jail on charges of unlawful land burning, with bond set at $2,500. Her initial court appearance is scheduled for Thursday afternoon.
