One hurricane forecast to extend to seven days. More time for Florida to watch — and worry

Two more days to prepare — or worry. Starting this storm season, the National Hurricane Center is making a notable change in its forecasts.

Forecasters create that only after a tropical depression forms. That graphic will stay at 5 days, as usual.
