Gordon poses no threat to land. It is more of a concern for carrier ships in the Atlantic.

In addition to Gordon, we could see Helene form this weekend. There is a strong area of low pressure that is off the coast of the Carolinas. This low pressure is continuing to strengthen and winds are slightly picking up.

Right now - the system has a medium chance of developing into a named storm. It looks to travel northward through the Carolinas and Virginia.

This will bring heavy rainfall and strong winds to the Mid-Atlantic.
