Tropical Weather Outlook

National Hurricane Center Miami FL

Sat Aug 17 2019

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico: A small low pressure system located along the South Carolina coast about midway between Myrtle Beach and Charleston is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Tropical development of this system is expected to be slow to occur tonight and Sunday due to proximity to land as the disturbance moves northeastward along or near the coast of the Carolinas.

By early Monday, however, the low is expected to move over the warmer Atlantic waters, where some further organization could occur. The low is forecast to produce heavy rainfall along with a threat of flash flooding in eastern portions of South and North Carolina through Sunday.

Please see products from your local National Weather Service office or the Weather Prediction Center's Excessive Rainfall Outlook for more information.

* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
