WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — We're just days away from the peak of hurricane season, and the National Hurricane Center on Friday is watching four areas of unsettled weather for possible tropical development.
The first is an area of lower pressure off the mid-Atlantic coast that may pick up some tropical characteristics as it moves toward Nova Scotia. It has a low chance of becoming a named system as it moves over cooler waters this weekend. The NHC is giving it a 20% chance.
