A tropical system? Maybe just a rainmaker

No description found

There’s a low-level tropical threat worth keeping an eye on — though it’s nothing to lose sleep over right now.

Monday NHC

A disorganized area of showers and thunderstorms is near the North Carolina coast. Forecasters say a broad area of low pressure could form off the Southeast U.S. coast in the next day or two, and there’s a slight chance it will gradually organize as it drifts southward and then westward.

The keyword here is slight. The chance of any formal tropical development sits at just 10% over the next seven days, and conditions are expected to become less favorable as the week goes on. Wind shear and drier air will limit any development.

Tropical formation zones in July.

As we head into the month of July, these are the zones we look at for potential development.
