Another homegrown storm is trying to develop off the east coast of Florida. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is placing a 20% chance of development over the next 7 days.
This area of concern is due to a low-pressure system developing along a stalling front. This is not a home run for this disturbance to upgrade to a tropical storm or hurricane; it has to overcome dry air and wind shear.
Regardless of whether this disturbance develops into a tropical storm or hurricane, it has the potential to bring higher rain chances along the Gulf Coast by mid-week as it moves westward with the flow of a high-pressure system.
We’ll have to wait and see just how much rain comes from this.
If this disturbance get its act together, it would be named Bertha.
