Tracking the Tropics: Something brewing off the US coast in the Atlantic?
. (.)
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Per the National Hurricane Center on Saturday, a low pressure area is expected to move offshore of the southeastern coast of the United States along the western end of a frontal system early next week.
Slow development of this system will be possible thereafter while it moves slowly westward. Wind shear and dry air may limit any development. This area has a low (20%) chance of development over the next week.
