An elongated area of low pressure located over northeast Florida is producing a widespread area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms. This system is expected to move over the western Atlantic later today, and has a brief opportunity to become a tropical or subtropical depression during the next day or so, before it merges with a cold front. Regardless of development, the low is expected to cause increasing winds and rough surf along the coasts of Georgia, the Carolinas, and Virginia through mid-week. Heavy rain is also expected to continue over portions of the Florida peninsula during the next 24 hours. Please refer to products from your local National Weather Service forecast office for more information on this system. * Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...40 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...medium...50 percent. A tropical wave over western Africa is forecast to emerge over the far eastern Atlantic Ocean tonight or early Monday. Environmental conditions appear to be conducive for slow development by the middle of next week while the wave moves westward about 15 to 20 mph. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent. $$ Forecaster Roberts
