JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Ahead of the Jacksonville City Council’s regular meeting Tuesday night, Mayor Donna Deegan has called a special meeting at 3 p.m. to share updates with council members on “Potential Tropical Cyclone Nine.”
The system, which is brewing in the Gulf of Mexico, is expected to become Hurricane Helene before it hits Florida’s Gulf Coast later this week.
