NHC Flags 20% Florida Disturbance Risk as System Could Boost Gulf Coast Rain
3 articles · Updated · KPRC Click2Houston · Jun 27
Summary
A tropical disturbance off Florida’s east coast has a 20% chance of developing over the next seven days, according to the National Hurricane Center.
A low-pressure system forming along a stalled front is driving the threat, though dry air and wind shear are expected to limit its chances of becoming a tropical storm or hurricane.
Westward steering flow around high pressure could still carry the system toward the Gulf Coast by midweek, raising rain chances even if it never strengthens.
If the disturbance organizes enough to earn a name, it would become Bertha, extending a run of homegrown early-season Atlantic development concerns.
