Hi there, I'm Fox 13 meteorologist Nash Rhodes
and thank you for logging on to myfoxhurricane.com.
We get you up to speed on what's happening out there in the tropics
and truly over the past few days there hasn't
been a whole lot to talk about.
So far this season, apart from Isaias, which was a major hurricane,
we have had all tropical storms in the Atlantic.
Josephine would be the next named system if we were to get one.
We have about 45 days left in this Atlantic hurricane season.
Big picture not showing any disturbances tagged in the Gulf,
Caribbean, or Atlantic by the National Hurricane Center.
They're expecting no formation over the next seven days.
However, there is a very weak signal that I want
to bring your attention to farther down the pipeline.
It would be early next week that a cold front draped across
the southeast portions of the United States
is going to dive farther south over the Tampa Bay area.
But off the east coast of the United States,
we could see a little area of low pressure start to develop
And just meander here for several days.
If it takes on enough subtropical characteristics, it could have
an outside chance at maybe spinning up into a named system.
For now, those chances are awfully low,
but there's at least a small signal worth noting.
And regardless, this is going to create high surf
and the potential for beach erosions along the coast of the Carolinas
and potentially off the east coast of Georgia.
Big picture shows the 2026 storm tracks thus far,
most of which have been very far away from the United States.
but there have been four total
that have all found their way in the Gulf.
Isaias has been the strongest storm we've tracked thus far,
a major hurricane weakening
to a Category 2 storm before making landfall.
Arthur, Edouard, and Bertha,
all named systems there in the North Gulf as well.
Off the east coast of the United States,
we have yet to have any formations,
but we'll keep you up to speed here at myfoxhurricane.com
if we get any new updates from the National Hurricane Center.
