The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is tracking a disturbance off the southeastern coast near the Carolinas that has a 10% chance of developing into a tropical cyclone over the next seven days.
The NHC said environmental conditions are only slightly favorable for tropical development over the next day or two.
The system is expected to move southward and then westward later this week, where conditions could become more favorable for additional tropical development.
The Tampa Bay Observer will continue tracking the system and provide updates as more information becomes available.
