California Governor Gavin Newsom announced Saturday evening that the state is deploying resources to assist other states facing multiple storms, including Tropical Depression Nine (TD9) and a separate potential Category 4 hurricane off the east coast. The announcement came as TD9 remains disorganized but is expected to develop into a hurricane next week, threatening Georgia, the Carolinas, and other mid-Atlantic states. This deployment does not affect California's emergency response capabilities, according to a statement from the Governor's office. Tropical Depression Nine is currently experiencing low-level wind disruption, making precise short-term forecasting challenging, according to meteorologist Michael Lowry. Despite its disorganization, the National Hurricane Center's Saturday 5 PM update indicated that Tropical Storm Watches remain in effect for parts of Florida, and a significant eastward turn is still anticipated. Impacts along the coast are likely, with the storm expected to reach hurricane strength. Meanwhile, Hurricane Humberto has intensified to Category 5 status in the Atlantic Ocean, as reported by Max Velocity Weather. The National Hurricane Center's latest advisory noted that TD9 remains unorganized, but a hurricane is still expected. Coastal areas should monitor the storm's progression closely for potential impacts.
