National Hurricane Center following a possible tropical or subtropical development off the southeast coast
Tropical development potential
(The possible area of tropical or subtropical development according to the latest prospects of the National Hurricane Center is shown by the polygon, coded by color by the risk of development over the next seven days.)
The National Hurricane Center continues to follow a possible tropical or subtropical development this weekend or at the start of next week near Florida to the southeast coast. Whether it happens or not, stormy time will have an impact on the areas of Florida in the southeast of Georgia and coastal Carolins.
Chances of synchronization and development
The first stage of any chance of development is that low pressure is running in association with a water forehead on water off the southeast coast. If this happens and the weak becomes better defined, a subtropical or tropical depression could form this weekend at the beginning of next week.
Atmospheric conditions are only marginally conducive, so only the slow development of a subtropical or tropical depression is possible, explains the National Hurricane Center. We do not expect any system to become well organized or strong if the development occurred.
If this system was somehow reinforced in a tropical storm, it would be named Chantal.

The impacts are expected, whatever
The large-scale meteorological model in combination with this configuration will allow showers and storms and winds in gusts to have an impact on Florida, southeast of Georgia and coastal carolines in the coming days. A large part of the stormy time will be concentrated at the start on the Florida, but it will then spread to the south-eastern coast this weekend.
These thunderstorms will be available in several laps or bands and could be more persistent than typical afternoon and evening thunderstorms. Consequently, subjected localized floods are possible in places.
The beach forecasts this holiday weekend will be affected and will go, so make sure you have a plan B and a way to shelter lightning.
The RIP currents will also be possible during the holiday weekend along the southeast coast. Take note of the flags warning of this danger on the beaches and stay outside the water if the flags are red.
