Wet Weekend Expected

Disturbance between Georgia and South Carolina is going to meander in the Atlantic over the weekend and NHC giving it a small chance to develop. Right now, we are not expecting anything tropical to form and mainly focusing on the rain.

A front across the Southeast U.S. helps drag this area of low pressure South and high pressure in the Gulf will then steer it West through Florida. Both the Euro and GFS (Global) models are agree that this will happen with plenty of moisture around.

Today, expect steamy temps with storms increasing throughout the day. Over the weekend, an area of low pressure lingering offshore will bring us numerous showers & storms. A Flood Watch may be issued. pic.twitter.com/tieUPHrVYZ
