In the Atlantic basin, a the low between the Southeast coast and Bermuda is beginning to drift west-northwestward. Thanks to lessening shear and increasingly more thunderstorms in its circulation, the low could organize into a tropical depression by late today. An Air Force Hurricane Hunter plane is scheduled to investigate this system this afternoon.
Forecasts continue to insist that the low pressure will approach the Carolina Coast, and then turn north and northeast. This will continue to heighten the threat of rip currents from the Atlantic beaches of Florida to the Delmarva. Waves through the weekend will be running around 10 feet, with up to 15 feet possible along the Outer Banks.
Depending on how well the low pressure can organize, and how close it comes to the coastal areas, will determine if showers or rain will impact some parts of the eastern Carolinas, and perhaps the southeastern Mid-Atlantic. Right now the best chance looks to be Sunday into Monday.
Elsewhere in the Atlantic, an area of tropical low pressure has emerged off of Africa, and is now drifting west into the eastern Atlantic. Some slow organization of this low will be possible over the next several days.
