After a quiet stretch in the Atlantic, AccuWeather hurricane experts are monitoring three areas for tropical development into the first part of August, including near the Southeast coast.
In a pattern similar to what led to the formation of Tropical Storm Chantal back in early July, a slow-moving front is expected to move towards the Southeast coast and stall, which could be enough to generate tropical activity during the beginning of August.
Disruptive breezes (wind shear) in the region are anticipated to be weaker in early August as the front stalls. In turn, there is a low chance of tropical development Aug. 2-5.
"The good news is that if anything develops, it is likely to move away from the U.S.," said AccuWeather Lead Hurricane Expert Alex DaSilva.
