NHC now gives the disturbance in the Atlantic east of Florida a 60 percent chance of becoming a tropical depression or storm in coming days. Models suggest this could ultimately turn westward toward the South Atlantic coast over the Memorial Day weekend, with potential for heavy rain for the Carolinas and possibly eastern Georgia.

This won’t become a hurricane, or even a major tropical storm… the main issue will be rain. Hopefully the moisture will ultimately move into Alabama after the weekend is over with increasing rain chances here by the middle of next week. We will be watching.
