TROPICAL: NHC now says there’s a 40% chance of Tropical Development over the next few days from the Eastern Gulf, across Florida and into the Atlantic. There will be a stalled front. A sub-tropical or tropical depression could form late week or this weekend.
The EURO models shows a decent probability of development with this system off the SE coast in the Atlantic. The next available name is Chantal.
