Hello, this is an outlook of the tropics that covers the Northern Hemisphere! North Atlantic
Hurricane Nigel continues to intensify to a Category 2 hurricane with sustained winds of 100 mph (155 kmh) and should be nearing its peak intensity within the next 12 hours. The storm is still expected to remain as a Category 2 as it stays out to sea.
An area of interest in the central Atlantic has a 70% chance to form into a tropical depression within the next 7 days. Note that it's too soon as to where the potential track is for this area of interest.
An area interest located off the coast of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and northeastern Florida has a 30% chance to form into a (sub)tropical depression within the next 7 days. Even if it does not develop, heavy rainfall is still expected for the Mid-Atlantic this weekend, including our area.
