We’ve already told you what to expect in Disney World during a hurricane, and we’ve given you details on some of Disney World’s cancelation policies concerning hurricanes. We’ve also talked about the possibility of another hurricane affecting Disney World soon. Now, a new tropical storm is set to become a hurricane, so we’re looking at if it would impact Florida.

According to The National Hurricane Center, Tropical Storm Julia is on track to become a hurricane later today. However, Julia is located in the Western Caribbean, below Florida, and currently poses no threat to the state. However, a Hurricane Warning is currently in effect for the Nicaragua Coast.
