Start your day with the latest weather news – A disturbance appears to be getting better organized as it sits off the Southeast coast and will likely create nasty weather for days.
Coastal storm to bring heavy rain, strong winds to East Coast
The National Hurricane Center is tracking some potential tropical trouble with the development of a system off the southeastern coast of the U.S. at the end of the week, but regardless of whether it gets named or not doesn't mean the impacts will be different. Several inches of rain could fall from Florida to New England, and strong winds will be felt along the coast.

Coastal storm likely to bring nasty weather to Southeast coast
A disturbance off the Southeast coast appears to be getting better organized. It is expected to bring heavy rain, high winds, coastal flooding and rough seas to the Carolinas over the next couple of days. Eventually, it moves north and brings a weekend washout to the mid-Atlantic states. There’s a medium chance that it could become some type of tropical system.
Coolest temps in months expected in parts of US
A blast of fall is arriving across parts of the country just in time for the official beginning of the season. The potent storm system is expected to bring the coolest temperatures in months to parts of the West and northern Plains over the next few days. Heavy rain is forecast from North Dakota to Oklahoma and Arkansas as the front passes by this weekend.
Hurricane HQ: Nigel, another disturbance being tracked
In addition to the disturbance off the Southeast coast, Hurricane Nigel and another disturbance are being monitored in the Atlantic. Nigel is weakening as it moves through open water. The second disturbance has a high chance of development as it moves away from Africa.
