Tropical Storm Imelda is approaching the Southeast US coast but will not make landfall, bringing rain, strong winds, high surf, rip currents, and potential flooding from the Carolinas to Virginia, and possibly hitting Bermuda as a hurricane. Meanwhile, Hurricane Humberto is affecting Bermuda with heavy rain.
A 50% chance of a tropical or subtropical depression forming near Florida or off the Southeast coast over the holiday weekend, with stormy weather, gusty winds, and potential flash flooding expected across Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas, regardless of whether a depression develops.
The National Hurricane Center is monitoring an area off the Southeast Coast for potential tropical development in the 2025 hurricane season, with a low chance of formation but expected heavy rain and rough surf from Florida to the Carolinas over the next few days, which is typical for this time of year.
Florida will experience continued heavy rain and thunderstorms this week as a stationary front remains over the state. Forecasters are also monitoring the potential for tropical development off the southeastern coast of the U.S. Regardless of tropical development, the area of disturbed weather will bring several inches of rain, gusty winds, and the risk of coastal flooding from Florida to the Carolinas and into the mid-Atlantic states. Inland areas of Florida could see 1 to 2 inches of rain, while coastal areas may experience higher totals. Residents in the Southeast should also prepare for strong winds and potential coastal flooding.
Low pressure may develop near the Southeast Coast, tracking from east of Florida to somewhere near the Southeast Coast late this week into the holiday weekend. Most of the model data tracks the low north towards the Carolinas by this weekend. The circulation around the low is likely to keep below average temperatures in place through at least Saturday. Coastal flooding threat and rip currents should be monitored. The first named storm of 2023 will be Arlene.
A low-pressure system developing near the Southeast coast could bring wet conditions and increased raininess across the region, potentially acquiring characteristics of a subtropical storm. A separate disturbance north of the Bahamas is not expected to develop. The National Hurricane Center may add another area to watch closer to the Southeast coast in the coming days. Subtropical storms are a strange mix of development ingredients and typically occur early or late in the hurricane season.
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.
The National Hurricane Center is monitoring a disturbance near the Bahamas for possible tropical development off the Southeast coast by Memorial Day weekend. A cold front stalling over Florida and spin developing in the upper levels of the atmosphere could lead to heavy rain, rough surf, and gusty winds impacting coastal regions of the Southeast. Even if tropical development doesn't occur, some Florida communities are expected to receive between 3 and 6 inches of rainfall. The disturbance near the Bahamas currently has a 10% chance of development into a tropical depression.
