A broad trough of low pressure associated with a dissipated frontal system over Alabama and Georgia is forecast to move off of the southeastern United States coastline on Friday, according to the National Hurricane Center.
“Environmental conditions are expected to be marginally conducive for some gradual development over the weekend and into early next week while the system meanders offshore the coasts of Georgia and eastern Florida,” the National Hurricane Center wrote in a Thursday morning advisory.
The hurricane center is giving the area a 30% chance of development within five days.
