Hurricane center increases chance system could develop off Florida coast
ORLANDO, Fla. – The National Hurricane Center on Thursday upped its prediction a system could form off the coast of Florida and develop into the season's next tropical depression or storm. In its 2 p.m. Eastern time tropical advisory, the NHC said an area of low pressure is forecast to develop on Friday or Saturday over the Florida peninsula or off the Atlantic coast of the southeast U.S. along a weakening front that was moving into North Florida. 'Environmental conditions appear only marginally conducive for some slow development, but a tropical or subtropical depression could form in this region over the weekend or early next week while the system drifts northward or northeastward,' forecasters said. 'Regardless of development, heavy rainfall is possible across portions of the southeast U.S., particularly across the west-central Florida coast.' An Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft is scheduled to investigate the system on Friday, if necessary. The seven-day tropical outlook as of 2 p.m. Thursday, July 3, 2025. (NHC) The NHC gave it a 30% chance of development in the next two days and 60% chance in the next seven. If it were to develop into a named storm, it could become Tropical Storm Chantal. The latest forecast models have shifted the low pressure area's potential development since earlier this week that had it potentially forming off Florida's Gulf Coast. Now model guidance has the week low pressure area just off the northeast Florida-Georgia coast with models taking it north to northeast away from the state by early next week, according to the National Weather Service in Melbourne. 'High rain chances are forecast to continue Saturday then decrease Sunday and beyond but only back to more seasonable (climatological) norms of 40-60%,' forecasters said. Deep moisture over the peninsula because of the stalled front over North Florida, though, means rain chances on Thursday and Friday are much higher with pockets of storms hitting the region, although it won't be an all-day event. 'Rainfall totals will be 1-3 inches with locally higher amounts possible. While some ponding on roads will occur and one or more Flood Advisories may be needed, most areas will be able to handle this water and a Flood Watch is not anticipated,' forecasters said. This is the first system of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season that could threaten the U.S. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration forecasts 13 to 19 named storms this year, of which 6-10 will become hurricanes. Three to five of those would grow into major hurricanes of Category 3 strength or higher. Hurricane season runs from June 1-Nov. 30. ------------

4 U.S. States Could Get Hit With Major Storm During Holiday Weekend
As Americans in the Southeast celebrate the Fourth of July this weekend, they might be keeping an eye on the local weather forecasts. On Thursday, Dr. Mike Brennan, the director of the National Hurricane Center, recorded a quick video for social media detailing a potential brewing storm off the southeast coast of the United States. "It could bring some impacts to the southeast coast of the U.S., most likely in the form of heavy rainfall, along with the potential for dangerous beach and surf conditions," Brennan said. According to the NHC, the tropical disturbance has a 60% chance of forming into a cyclone in the next seven days and a 30% chance over the next 48 hours. Regardless of if or how it forms, the storm will likely cause some rainfall throughout the area, with Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina being the most affected states. "An area of low pressure is forecast to develop along a weakening frontal boundary near Florida or the Atlantic coast of the southeastern United States on Friday or Saturday," said the NHC. "Environmental conditions appear only marginally conducive for some slow development, but a tropical or subtropical depression could form in this region over the weekend or early next week while the system drifts northward or northeastward. Regardless of development, heavy rainfall is possible across portions of the southeast U.S., particularly across the west-central Florida coast. An Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft is scheduled to investigate the system on Friday, if necessary." Additionally, AccuWeather reported that while beachgoers in the Southeast should have "very little concern" of a possible tropical storm over the next few days, they could see increased rain and thunderstorm activity, as well as deteriotating surf conditions. The Atlantic hurricane season officially opened on June 1 and runs through the end of November, with the likely peak occurring between mid-August and mid-October. 4 U.S. States Could Get Hit With Major Storm During Holiday Weekend first appeared on Men's Journal on Jul 3, 2025
