Tropical Update Saturday August 2nd.

Tropical Update: As I like to keep you in the loop and updated, here’s a Saturday morning tropical update. Do you know the cold front that has moved through the state is bringing cooler air? Well, it is now over the very warm Atlantic Ocean waters, and it could spawn a low-pressure system over the next day or so as it sits over the ocean. This could lead to some gradual tropical development off our coastline as the National Hurricane Center is now monitoring the low. At this time, the system, if anything develops, will move gradually NE away from North Carolina. However, due to the proximity of the low pressure today, some showers and thunderstorms are possible along the coast. Tomorrow and Monday are looking drier. Additionally, gusty winds and high rip currents are likely along the NC coastline over the next few days due to the pressure gradient from the front and high pressure to the north. So be careful if you’re swimming in the ocean.

Otherwise, nothing to worry about in the tropics, I’ll monitor this until it is history, like usual. Everyone have a good rest of their day.
