Storm off Florida coast has little chance of tropical development

The National Hurricane Center is watching another area off the coast of Florida and the southeastern states, but meteorologists said there isn’t much chance that it will become tropical.

The latest guidance gives it a 20% over the next seven days and a zero percent chance in the next 48 hours.

Forecasters said it’s too far out to know much about the storm’s impact, or lack of it, on eastern North Carolina, but they do caution that beach visitors monitor updates this week.

The next name up on the list for this season is Chantal.

An award-winning journalist and mother of four, Annette moved to eastern North Carolina in 2019 to be closer to family – in particular, her two young grandchildren. It’s possible that a -27 day with a -68 windchill in Minnesota may have also played a role in that decision. In her spare time, Annette does a lot of kiddo cuddling, reading, and producing the coolest Halloween costumes anyone has ever seen. She has also worked as a diversity and inclusion facilitator serving school districts and large corporations.
