NHC Monitors Southeast Coast Low-Pressure System

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring a non-tropical low-pressure system expected to form off the southeastern U.S. coast, with only a 10% chance of developing subtropical or tropical characteristics this week. The system is forecast to bring heavy rain, gusty winds, and increased rip current risks to coastal areas from Florida through the Carolinas, particularly from Wednesday to Thursday. Flood watches have been issued in parts of South Florida, and similar impacts are anticipated in Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina. Forecasters emphasize that the main threats are rain and hazardous beach conditions, not strong tropical cyclone impacts. The disturbance is expected to move out to sea by Friday or Saturday, posing no threat to the Gulf Coast. If named, the first storm of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season will be Andrea.
