Tropical Update

The National Hurricane Center is watching for the possible development of a tropical low off the Carolina coastline.  There's still a lot of speculation about the potential of this storm system.  Regardless, early week rain is likely for the coast with showers possible across the Charlotte metro area.

More Tropical Development

There are two tropical waves to watch in the central-eastern Atlantic Ocean with chances of further development. One has been named Tropical Depression Number 7 which looks to become Tropical Storm Gordon but it not likely a threat to any landfall.
