Chance Of A Depression Forming Off Southeast Coast Increases

The latest update from the National Hurricane Center shows increasing chances for tropical development near Florida or along the Southeast coast. An area of low pressure is expected to develop along a stalled front, which could slowly strengthen into a tropical or subtropical depression this weekend or early next week. If we get a named storm, the next name on the list is Chantal. Regardless of development, heavy rain looks likely across Florida Thursday and Friday into the upcoming Fourth of July weekend. Rain and storm chances increase along the Southeast coast later this weekend into next week.
