National Hurricane Center Watching Area Off Southeast Coast For Development
A stalled front and upper-level disturbance will team up to create stormy conditions from Florida to the Carolinas over the next few days.
What the National Hurricane Center is watching for is the possibility that a non-tropical low-pressure system could develop and gradually acquire tropical or subtropical characteristics, if it remains over water rather than inland.
Right now, the chance of a tropical or subtropical depression or storm forming is low in the area shown below off the Southeast Coast. This system should move away from the Southeast coast by Friday and Saturday and head out to sea.
The first name of the Atlantic hurricane season will be Andrea.
Localized heavy rain will spread from Florida to the coastal Carolinas over next few days no matter if there is any attempt at development or not.
That will include mainly South Florida on Tuesday. Flash flooding cannot be ruled out, including in Miami.
Areas from Florida to the coastal Carolinas could then see pockets of heavy rain from Wednesday into Thursday. That could include Savannah, Georgia, Charleston, South Carolina, and Wilmington, North Carolina.
Beaches on the Southeast coast will also see rough surf and a risk of rip currents, so take heed of warnings if you are headed to beach.
This region is no stranger to tropical development for the month of June. Parts of the Caribbean, Gulf and Southeast Coast are all common areas for development this time of year, as shown below shaded in yellow.
So the good news is, this is nothing out of the ordinary.

Tropical area of interest off Southeast coast has 40% chance of development; will bring rain to Grand Strand
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WBTW) — A tropical area of interest several hundred miles off the coast of the Southeast has a 40% chance of development and is expected to bring rain to the Grand Strand on Friday, according to the National Hurricane Center. 'A weak surface trough currently located several hundred miles off the coast of the southeastern United States is expected to form an area of low pressure in a day or so,' the NHC's 8 a.m. Tuesday update reads. 'Thereafter, environmental conditions appear favorable for gradual development of this system, and a tropical depression could form by the latter portion of this week or weekend as the low initially moves slowly westward, but turns more northward by this weekend.' The area is to our east-southeast and is expected to move northwest into central, coastal North Carolina on Friday, News13 meteorologist Hannah Rahner said. Regardless of whether it develops into a tropical system or is just an area of low pressure, it is expected to bring rain to the Grand Strand, primarily on Friday. Rahner said Tuesday morning the seven-day rainfall totals will be 2-4 inches. Count on News13 for updates. * * * Caleb is a digital producer at News13.

Tropical Storm Ivo forms in the eastern Pacific and could impact coastal Mexico, forecasters say
MIAMI (AP) — Tropical Storm Ivo formed Wednesday in the eastern Pacific Ocean and was expected to bring rain and rough surf to parts of Mexico's southwest coast, forecasters said. Ivo had maximum sustained winds of 40 mph (65 kph) and was centered about 195 miles (310 kilometers) south-southeast of Acapulco, according to the National Hurricane Center based in Miami. Forecasters said Ivo is expected to be near hurricane strength by the end of the week as it spends a few days moving offshore, and generally parallel to the coast, before turning west away from land. No coastal watches or warnings were in effect as Ivo moves west-northwest at 22 mph (35 kph). But large ocean swells kicked up by Ivo could cause life-threatening surf and rip currents, the hurricane center said. The storm also threatened flash flooding and was expected to dump 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 centimeters) of rain with isolated totals of up to 6 inches (15 centimeters) in spots around parts of the Mexican states of Guerrero, Michoacan and southwestern portions of Oaxaca through Saturday. Ivo was the second tropical storm in the eastern Pacific, joining Tropical Storm Henriette. On Wednesday, Henriette had maximum sustained winds of 50 mph (85 kph) and was located 1,555 miles (2,505 kilometers) east of Hilo, Hawaii, and moving west. In the Atlantic, Dexter remained a tropical storm but was forecast to become a powerful extra-tropical cyclone.
