Update:
July 13th, 4 p.m.:
The low pressure system is currently sitting of the eastern coast of Georgia and the Carolinas.
It is producing a weak spin and slowly moving westward.
It is set to move west across the Florida peninsula and into the Gulf by Tuesday.
Once the low is over the warm waters of the Gulf, development is possible. However, the chances remain low at this time, with a 20% chance of development over the next 7 days.
Original:
At 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, the National Hurricane Center marked a possible area of tropical development over the eastern Gulf.
It currently has a 0% chance of development over the next 48 hours and a 20% chance of development over the next 7 days.
This is in anticipation of a low set to move westward across the Florida peninsula and into the eastern Gulf mid to late next week, where it could possibly strengthen into a tropical system.
If development occurs, it would be mid-to-late next week.
As of right now, this is expected to bring lots of rain to our area even if there is no development.
The next name on the list is Dexter.
We will continue to keep an eye on this system and will keep you updated both on air and online.
