Area In Gulf Has 70 Percent Chance Of Tropical Development
June 21, 2012
The National Hurricane Center is now giving a broad area of low pressure centered near the northern coast of the Yucatan a 70 percent chance of developing into a tropical cyclone in the next 48 hours.
The area of low pressure is producing a large area of showers and thunderstorms from the Yucatan to Cuba and southern Florida. Upper level winds are becoming more favorable for development.
All interests along the entire United States Gulf Coast should monitor the progress of this system through the weekend, according to the National Hurricane Center.
Brickyard Road Public Meeting Tonight
June 21, 2012
A public information meeting about proposed improvements to Brickyard Road over an unnamed branch will be held tonight in Molino by the Florida Department of Transportation.
The project involves replacing an existing bridge on Brickyard Road, repaving the approaches, new guardrail, minor drainage improvements, sodding and placement of new pavement markings. The project is approximately 700 feet in length with construction scheduled to begin in the summer of 2014. During construction, the roadway will be closed and traffic diverted. Additional right-of-way will be required for the bridge and roadway improvements.
The public meeting will be held Thursday from 5:30 until 6:30 p.m. at Highland Baptist Church at 6240 Highway 95A in Molino.
Representatives from FDOT will be available to explain the proposed improvements and answer questions.
