According to the National Weather Service a tropical storm threat is possible over the next few days along the Carolina coast. Heavy rain could trigger flooding in parts of the South through early next week as tropical disturbance Invest 98L is being monitored for a chance of tropical development along the Southeast coast.
According to The Weather Channel, the National Hurricane Center has given Invest 98L high chance of development into a tropical depression or storm over the weekend.
This system is forecast to move near or over Florida into early Saturday. When it emerges back over the Atlantic conditions are expected to be conducive for tropical development this weekend or early next week as it moves near the coast of eastern Florida and the Southeast coast.
This is nothing to be overly concerned about for now, but you need to keep an eye on it since we’re in the busier part of hurricane season.
Rainfall rates of an inch or more per hour are possible in the storms and many areas in the South could see 1 to 2 inches of rain through Tuesday.
