Chance Of A Depression Forming Off Southeast Coast Increases
The latest update from the National Hurricane Center now shows a medium chance of development near Florida or along the Southeast coast this weekend or early next week. There is still potential for an area of low pressure to develop along a stalled front, which could eventually strengthen into a tropical or subtropical depression. 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.

High risk of tropical development off US Atlantic coast
A zone that has been on AccuWeather meteorologists' radar since mid-June is on the verge of evolving into a tropical rainstorm, which may be the first step toward becoming a tropical depression or tropical storm in a matter of several days. Tropical development along the United States' southern Atlantic coast is now likely into this weekend, but because of an influx of dry air and wind shear farther west, the low-risk zone for potential development in the northeastern and north-central Gulf has been dropped. Tropical rainstorm on the way The first impacts of the tropical area nearby in the Atlantic will be from sporadic showers and thunderstorms off the east coast of Florida. The process will evolve through the end of the week. "This will be a classic example of homegrown development, by which a tropical depression or storm may form close to the southeast Atlantic coast and in an area where it is typical for July," AccuWeather Lead Hurricane Expert Alex DaSilva said on air Thursday morning. As this occurs, barometric pressure will fall. Next, the zone should begin to develop a circular wind field, which will cause breezes to stiffen along the coast and over adjacent Atlantic waters. Seas and surf will build from the Florida Atlantic coast to the North Carolina Outer Banks during the extended Independence Day weekend. "Waters are sufficiently warm in the region, generally in the 80s F, plus the Gulf Stream will continuously feed warm water as seas become rough and upwelling begins," DaSilva said. There are two deterrents working against explosive development. One is proximity to land, and the other is moderate wind shear or disruptive breezes in the lower and middle parts of the atmosphere, Da Silva explained. AccuWeather will likely soon declare the system a tropical rainstorm to raise public awareness of meteorologists' concern for locally heavy rain, gusty thunderstorms and potentially dangerous seas and surf. "Steering breezes will likely guide the area of tropical interest northward during the weekend to early next week," DaSilva said. "How long it is able to remain over water may determine how strong it is able to become in terms of winds and extent of heavy rain."Have the app? Unlock AccuWeather Alerts™ with Premium+ Should the mass of showers and thunderstorms evolve into a tropical storm, the next name on the list for the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season is Chantal, following Andrea and Barry from June. Current indications are that a zone of clouds and downpours with locally gusty winds may move northward along the mid-Atlantic coast early next week, which could limit a building area of heat from the Midwest. However, just west of the influence of the tropical downpours, heat could be enhanced over the Appalachians. "Elsewhere in the tropical Atlantic, we see a vast area of dry air, wind shear and Saharan dust that will limit or prevent tropical development in the short term, and that is not unusual for July," DaSilva said. Eastern Pacific: Flossie fading but Gil brewing soon Meanwhile, in the eastern Pacific, after reaching major hurricane (Category 3 on the Saffir-Simpson scale) status at midweek, Flossie was quickly losing wind intensity while traveling northwestward over progressively cooler waters well off the coast of Mexico. A new area of showers and thunderstorms is projected by AccuWeather to evolve soon into the next tropical depression and storm for the eastern Pacific. The next name on the list for the 2025 season is Gil. Want next-level safety, ad-free?

Map Shows Which States Will Be Hit Hardest By 'Drenching' Tropical Storm
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Four Southeastern states are at risk of "drenching" thunderstorms associated with a possible tropical storm off the coast that could form this weekend. Even if the storm doesn't form, it will bring heavy rainfall and a risk of dangerous flash floods along the southeastern U.S. coast this weekend and early next week. Why It Matters If it forms, Tropical Storm Chantal will be the third named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season, which began on June 1. The first storm, Tropical Storm Andrea, formed last week and caused no United States-related impacts. Tropical Storm Barry formed in the Bay of Campeche last weekend and impacted Eastern Mexico. Heavy rain hits Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Heavy rain hits Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Serenethos/Getty What to Know Chances are increasing that the tropical storm will form northeast of Florida. It could bring heavy rain and flood-related impacts to Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina. Tropical downpours could begin as soon as Thursday, a map from AccuWeather said, and continue through Sunday. Nearly all of Florida is expecting the rain, as well as Southeastern Georgia, Eastern South Carolina and Eastern North Carolina. Even if the storm doesn't form, AccuWeather Lead Hurricane Expert Alex DaSilva told Newsweek it will still bring heavy rain to the Southeast U.S. AccuWeather forecasts anticipate the storm will develop between July 4 and July 7. In addition to heavy rain, rough surf is also expected. This could include dangerous rip currents along the Southeastern coast. As of Thursday around noon Eastern time, no National Weather Service (NWS) weather alerts have been issued in the area. What People Are Saying DaSilva said in a report by AccuWeather: "Steering breezes will likely guide the area of tropical interest northward during the weekend to early next week. How long it is able to remain over water may determine how strong it is able to become in terms of winds and extent of heavy rain." NHC in a forecast about the disturbance: "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 by Saturday. 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." What Happens Next The NHC forecast says there is a 20 percent chance the storm will become tropical in the next 48 hours and a 60 percent chance it will do so in the next seven days.
