Tropical Disturbances Today



Disturbance 1. Offshore the Southeastern U.S. Coast (AL95): A non-tropical low pressure area is located along a frontal boundary a couple of hundred miles off the southeastern U.S. coast. The low is forecast to move northwestward or northward over the warm waters of the Gulf Stream toward the coasts of North Carolina and South Carolina, and it could become a subtropical or tropical storm during the next day or two if the associated front dissipates and showers and thunderstorms become sufficiently organized. Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...50 percent and formation chance through 7 days...medium...50 percent.

Disturbance 2. Tropical Storm Gordon is barely a tropical storm. Gordon is located about 1200 miles east of the northern Leeward Islands moving WSW at 10 MPH with 40 MPH maximum sustained winds. A west to west-southwest motion is expected during the next few days, with Gordon forecast to slow down considerably through the middle of the week. Gordon is expected to weaken to a tropical depression later today and it could degenerate into a remnant low at any time during the next few days. There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect.
