Off the Southeastern United States

>>> A weak surface trough currently located several hundred miles off the coast of the southeastern United States is expected to form an area of low pressure in a day or so. Thereafter, environmental conditions appear favorable for gradual development of this system, and a tropical depression could form by the latter portion of this week or weekend as as the low initially moves slowly westward, but turns more northward by this weekend.

* Formation chance through 48 hours…low…10 percent
* Formation chance through 7 days…medium..40 percent
