We’re keeping an eye on Tropical Depression #2 in the Gulf.

It’s still early in the development of this system, and forecast tracks and intensity can change over the coming days. Regardless of where it ultimately goes, it’s a good reminder that hurricane season is active and now is the time to review your emergency plans, check your disaster supply kits, and make sure you have multiple ways to receive weather alerts.

Our team will continue to monitor the system closely and will provide updates if there are any potential impacts to our area.

Stay prepared, stay weather aware, and we’ll keep you informed.
