SUMMARY: In Tuesday’s tropical weather update, meteorologist Greg D discussed the remnants of Joy, which are no longer a tropical depression, and the reemergence of Tropical Storm Kirk, expected to strengthen into a major hurricane later in the week. Another potential system is developing in the Western Caribbean, but its chances of intensification have decreased, with development likely pushed to early next week. Models indicate a broad low-pressure area that might enhance rainfall, especially for Florida, but currently poses no significant intensity concerns. The system is expected to clear to the east by late next week or next weekend.

SUMMARY: In Florida, confusion grows over COVID-19 vaccine access. Jen, a Tampa resident with an underlying condition, struggles to find vaccination sites despite consistent annual shots. Pharmacies like CVS now require prescriptions for vaccines in 16 states, including Florida, while Walgreens limits availability.

Many Floridians remain uncertain about vaccine availability and eligibility.
