This same low-pressure system, invest 95-L, has a 50% chance of developing into a tropical system as it slowly drifts towards the Carolinas’ coastline.

Regardless of development, it will cause some rough seas along the East Coast.

Our local beaches today will see dangerous rip currents and surf heights reaching 3 to 5 feet.

Elsewhere in the tropics, tropical storm Gordon is barely a tropical storm.
