Coastal Hazards Grip Southeast as Gulf Low Soaks Coast and NHC Eyes Atlantic System

Forecasters cite dangerous surf, coastal flooding, plus a high chance of Atlantic tropical development.

Overview

  • An eastern Atlantic disturbance labeled Invest 95L carries a high seven‑day probability of development, according to the National Hurricane Center.
  • A weak low in the northern Gulf is driving bands of rain across Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, with 1–3 inches expected and locally higher totals possible.
  • High surf, life‑threatening rip currents and pockets of coastal flooding are affecting South Florida and the Treasure Coast, with 5–8 foot breakers and hazardous boating conditions offshore.
  • Coastal flood advisories extend into northeast Florida and southeast Georgia, where tides could inundate 2–2.5 feet above normally dry ground and cause significant beach erosion.
  • A midweek cold front is forecast to spread showers more broadly before ushering in cooler, drier air later in the week, though rainfall will be uneven across the region.
