Charleston, SC – The National Weather Service (NWS) in Charleston is tracking two areas of potential tropical development in the Atlantic, with forecasters warning both could strengthen in the coming days.
According to the NWS, Disturbance 1 has an 80% chance of forming into a cyclone within the next 48 hours and a 90% chance of development over the next seven days. Disturbance 2 carries a 30% chance of formation within 48 hours but rises to an 80% chance over the next week.
Meteorologists noted the disturbances are expected to become tropical depressions as they move westward, but it remains too early to know whether they will bring direct impacts to Southeast South Carolina or Southeast Georgia. Forecasters emphasized the importance of continued monitoring, especially as tropical systems can change track or intensity quickly.
The NWS cautioned residents to “be wary of exaggerated forecast days out” and encouraged the public to stay prepared by reviewing hurricane safety resources. Officials recommend monitoring updates from the National Hurricane Center and local weather offices throughout the week.
As of early Wednesday, Hurricane Gabrielle was also active in the Atlantic, but it is not currently projected to affect the southeastern United States.
Residents are advised to stay alert as conditions evolve.
