Atlantic sees first tropical disturbance of the season ahead of Memorial Day weekend.

A complex weather scenario off the Eastern Seaboard through the Memorial Day weekend could lead to a tropical disturbance developing over the western Atlantic. A cold front will stall over Florida, while spin develops in the upper levels of the atmosphere, leading to a period of heavy rain, rough surf, and gusty winds impacting coastal areas. The combination of gusty winds and rough seas is expected to lead to an enhanced threat from rip currents that could stretch from the Carolinas through the Sunshine State into the Memorial Day weekend. If development happens over a warm pool of water, it is within the realm of possibility that a weak tropical feature could develop off the Southeast coast.
