Hurricane Center Forecasts System Could Develop Off Florida Coast
Forecasters say the disturbance has a 0% chance of forming in 48 hours and a 20% chance over seven days.
- The National Hurricane Center is monitoring a potential area of low pressure off the southeastern United States, with formation expected early next week along a stalled frontal system.
- Forecasters give the system a near-zero chance of development over the next 48 hours and a 20% chance during the next seven days as it moves slowly westward.
- Regardless of tropical development, the system is expected to bring increased clouds, showers, and rougher marine conditions to the Georgia, South Carolina, and Florida coasts throughout next week.
- If the disturbance intensifies into a tropical storm, it would be named Bertha, becoming the second named storm of the 2026 Atlantic Hurricane Season after Tropical Storm Arthur formed in June.
- High pressure north of Florida acts as the driver for increased moisture, contributing to a broader weather pattern change as the region approaches the peak of hurricane season in mid-August.
