SUMMARY: Hurricane Milton has dissipated, leaving no immediate concerns for Florida as it moves out to the Atlantic. While there’s speculation about a potential storm in the Gulf next week, no such systems are currently forming. This hurricane season has been notable, with five landfalling hurricanes on the Gulf Coast, matching previous active years like 2005 and 2020. A significant cold front is expected next week, drastically dropping temperatures, with highs in the low 70s by midweek. Overall, a pleasant weekend is ahead before the cooler weather settles in, marking the first true cold front of the season.
