Potential Tropical Cyclone One – Update #1 – 6/2/2022

University of Florida officials are actively monitoring Potential Tropical Cyclone One, and much remains unknown about its path. Here’s what we know today:

Heavy rainfall is expected on Friday across portions of the Yucatan Peninsula, the Cayman Islands and western Cuba.

These heavy rains are likely to affect South Florida and the Florida Keys by Friday. Considerable flash and urban flooding are possible across the urban corridors in South Florida and in the Keys. A tropical storm watch area is currently in place for the Florida peninsula and the Florida Keys. UF units should monitor forecasts and be prepared to follow guidance from local officials.

Additionally, no tropical storm warnings or watches are currently in place for Alachua County, and no operational changes are anticipated for the UF campus in Gainesville. We will continue to monitor and update the UF community on expected impacts as information becomes available.
