A potential tropical disturbance could form off the southeastern U.S. coast this weekend, but regardless of development, that area of disturbed weather will likely drop several inches of rain from Florida to the Carolinas and into parts of the mid-Atlantic, accompanied by gusty winds that could produce large waves, dangerous rip currents and coastal flooding.

Stalled front in Florida could lead to tropical system formation
FOX Weather is closely monitoring the potential for a tropical system to develop off the coast of Florida this week. A front that has parked itself in the Sunshine State is causing days of rain. Computer models indicate a tropical or subtropical cyclone could develop along that front later this week. It’s still too early for specifics. Stay with Hurricane HQ for the latest.
Hurricane Nigel joined by another tropical disturbance
Hurricane Nigel continues to spin through the open waters of the Atlantic and has likely reached its peak intensity. Meanwhile, a disturbance is likely to develop off of Africa late this week or over the weekend.
First fall storm to sweep across America this week
Some places are expected to get their first true taste of fall later this week as a potent storm traverses the country. It’ll likely bring heavy rain to parts of the central U.S. It could also bring some snow to the highest elevations of the northern Rocky Mountains.
