Hurricane Season Starts: Potential Tropical Depression Threatens Southeast Coast

Atlantic Hurricane Season Begins: FOX Weather Experts Warn of Potential Tropical Depression The Atlantic hurricane season officially began on June 1st, and FOX Weather is already monitoring a potential tropical depression brewing off the Southeast coast of the United States. According to the National Hurricane Center, there's a 10% chance of development within the next 7 days. FOX Weather Hurricane Specialist Bryan Norcross, in a recent broadcast, discussed the situation and provided valuable insights. "Right along the Carolina coast, there's a slight chance," Norcross explained, pointing to a weather map. "They've put out a 10% chance of a tropical depression developing. A depression is a really low bar, so it doesn't take a whole lot." The report showcased dramatic footage of severe weather already impacting other areas of the US, including tornadoes and significant flooding in Florida. Norcross detailed how the Gulf Stream and upper-level wind patterns are playing a role in the potential development of the tropical system. He also highlighted the impact of Saharan dust moving across the Atlantic and Caribbean, which is expected to influence weather conditions in Florida and the Gulf Coast in the coming days. The FOX Weather team is closely monitoring the situation and will provide updates as they become available. While the probability of a hurricane is currently low, the start of hurricane season serves as a reminder for coastal residents to prepare and stay informed.
