On the forecast track, it will turn to the Northeast on Wednesday getting absorbed by a cold front moving into the Southeast United States. Essentially protecting land areas from direct impacts.

As we look at that cold front, the National Hurricane Center is suggesting a non-tropical area of low pressure could spin-off in the Northern Gulf of Mexico Wednesday or Thursday moving slowly Northeast over warm waters where it can acquire subtropical or tropical characteristics. It would only have low chance to form.

Rain Chances Next 7 Days
Steering winds out of the Southwest keeping and carrying Tropical Depression Three away from the United States will draw up the moisture levels. The daytime steam will fire up scattered to numerous showers and storms West that will march towards the East coast Metro areas. By the weekend, typical Summer pattern kicks in with the return of an ocean breeze to bring down temperatures as well.
Still good rain chance today through Thursday, but mainly in the afternoon. The daytime heat will develop scattered storms inland & they will push towards the East coast areas due to SW winds. @wsvn @7weather #flwx pic.twitter.com/2cKVjHWNyi
