The National Hurricane Center (NHC)  in Miami, Florida is keeping a close eye on the western Atlantic near the southeast U.S. coastline for signs of possible tropical cyclone development.  Chances of development are low at this time.

According to the NHC, a broad low pressure area is expected to form offshore of the southeastern coast of the United States along the western end of a frontal system early next week. Gradual development of this system will be possible thereafter while it moves slowly westward. The NHC says formation chances through 48 hours are nearly 0 percent but are up to 20% for the next 7 days.

The Atlantic Hurricane Season started on June 1 and runs through to the end of November. So far, there has only been one storm this season: Arthur struck the southeast coast of Texas near Galveston as a disorganized tropical storm last week.
