Here's the latest on two areas we're watching in the Atlantic:
It may develop into a tropical depression and head toward the Southeast coast later this week.A third system could also develop in the eastern Atlantic Ocean later this week.Sign up for the Morning Brief email newsletterA tropical depression could form off the southeastern United States, and that could push toward the coast of Florida, Georgia or the Carolinas later this week. That's only one area we're watching this last full week of July.
Monday afternoon, the National Hurricane Center assigned a low chance that this area could develop into a tropical depression later this week somewhere in the northern polygon shaded below, off the Southeast coast. The most likely impacts in Florida and along parts of the Southeast coast, regardless of development, would be an uptick in showers and perhaps some gusty winds and rip currents along the Atlantic beaches later this week.While not cutting down the humidity, that may take the top off the prolific heat wave that parts of South Florida have been enduring for weeks.The NHC continues to monitor another area of low pressure just east of the Lesser Antilles, tracking westward.
Each of these systems will have to battle dry air, typical of this early phase of the hurricane season. That can prevent thunderstorms from being able to persist near surface low pressure long enough for a tropical depression to form.
