Charleston, South Carolina – A low-pressure system lingering off the Southeast coast is drawing close attention from weather officials this weekend, as it holds a 30% chance of tropical development through Wednesday. While formation remains unlikely, boaters and coastal communities from Myrtle Beach to Wilmington are urged to monitor updates as the system tracks east-northeast into the Atlantic.
According to the National Hurricane Center, the disturbance has developed along a frontal boundary, with its main impacts staying well offshore. The latest seven-day outlook shows no direct effects expected across West Central or Southwest Florida, and inland areas of the Carolinas should also remain largely unaffected. However, rip currents and higher surf could affect popular beaches along the Carolina coastline through midweek.
Travelers should use caution near beaches and marinas, and stay alert for possible coastal advisories if conditions change. No road closures or power disruptions are anticipated at this time, but residents are encouraged to have hurricane kits ready as the 2025 Atlantic season continues…
