A coastal flood advisory is in effect from Nassau county and north into Southeast Georgia counties along the coast and intercoastal.

TRACKING THE TROPICS
Tropical Atlantic (AL95): A broad area of low pressure associated with a tropical wave continues to produce a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms several hundred miles southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands. Long term models currently show the system developing and moving north. It is too soon to tell where and when the tropical wave will develop.
Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...50 percent.* Formation chance through 7 days...high...70 percent.
North-Central Gulf: A weak trough of low pressure located over the north-central Gulf is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms near the coasts of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. This system is beginning to move inland over the Gulf coast and development is not expected due to strong upper-level winds and land interaction. Formation of a cyclone is not likely at this time.
