MIDWAY, Fla. (WTXL) -- A lingering low-pressure disturbance a few hundred miles southeast of the South Carolina coast has organized enough to be classified as the latest tropical depression.
Tropical Depression Three is about 230 miles from Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, with highest winds of 30 mph. The depression was moving north-northwest at 5 mph.
As the system moves slowly and erratically over the Gulf Stream in the western Atlantic, slight intensification efforts are expected. The system is projected to become a tropical storm over the weekend, and possibly reaching hurricane status, before being shoved northeast over west Atlantic waters early next week.
The depression and its possible future stronger forms should not have a direct bearing on weather conditions here in the Florida/Georgia line region.
