Alabama Skies: Hurricane Center watching system right off southeastern coast

Published 9:46 pm Friday, July 28, 2023

That pesky disturbance in the Atlantic Ocean is still out there and now there are two more areas being monitored by the National Hurricane Center.

The closest system is just off the coast of Georgia and Florida. Thankfully, chances are very low the disturbance will organize within the next couple of days. If you’re heading to Georgia or Florida, you may get some heavy rainfall or storms with the disturbance.

The other new disturbance is still far away, and the chances for development are very low right now. We’ll keep watching all three of these areas.

It’s still going to be extremely hot and humid, so keep a watch out on the elderly, pets, and people working outdoors. It won’t take long for it to become very dangerous and life-threatening.
