USA TODAY Network is launching a text message service to update Florida residents on hurricane alerts and essential resource connections during the 2025 hurricane season — the service encourages texts to 'Hello' to 239-241-6343 and is not an emergency line — so residents should call 911 for urgent help.

Invest 94L southeast of Florida in the Caribbean is expected to become a tropical depression today—if it strengthens, it may become Tropical Storm Imelda—and bring wind, rain, and storm surge to parts of the southeast U.S. coast early next week.

Hurricane Humberto strengthened into a hurricane yesterday and is predicted to rapidly intensify into a Category 4 storm over the weekend while forecasters monitor Invest 94L, which is expected to form a tropical depression near the Bahamas.

The two systems may interact via the Fujiwhara effect—making impact predictions challenging along the southeast coast as residents are urged to stay alert.
