“As far as the impact for us here at home, I think we’re going to stay very well protected with a number of cold fronts,” said WPTV First Alert Weather meteorologist Frances Peyton. “So it won’t be too much of a worry for us. But we’re looking to bring a lot of precipitation to parts of Cuba and the Yucatan Peninsula next week.”

The Atlantic hurricane season officially ends on November 30.
