Southeastern US waters under watch for tropical activity through mid-August
Meteorologists are closely monitoring waters near the southeastern United States, including areas around Florida, the Carolinas, Cuba, the Bahamas, and Bermuda, for potential tropical activity through mid-August. Conditions such as warm sea-surface temperatures (above 80°F/27°C) and reduced wind shear may foster the development of tropical depressions or rainstorms. While the Atlantic hurricane season is expected to be below average due to El Niño's suppressive effects, localized fronts in this region could decay and create favorable conditions for storm formation. Experts warn that tropical storms forming close to land may develop rapidly, leaving minimal time for preparation. Source time: not specified.
