"A weather system developing right off the US East Coast could strengthen into a dangerous tropical storm in the coming days, experts have warned. Meteorologists said that this tropical rainstorm is expected to form quickly over the weekend, potentially bringing 'prolonged coastal flooding' to the entire East Coast, from southern Florida to New England. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) has noted that the next two Atlantic storm names will be Jerry and Karen, with Jerry likely to form farther away from the US this week."
"As for the storm that could become Karen, forecasters have already predicted that North Carolina, Virginia, and Maryland are expected to get heavy rainfall between Friday and Saturday. The threat stems from increased tropical activity in the Atlantic basin, where a low-pressure system near the Southeast is soaking up warm Gulf Stream waters, causing it to organize into a potential tropical storm."
A low-pressure system developing off the US East Coast is organizing over warm Gulf Stream waters and could rapidly strengthen into a dangerous tropical storm named Karen in the coming days. The system may form over the weekend and threaten the entire East Coast from southern Florida to New England with prolonged coastal flooding, beach erosion, rough surf, and dangerous rip currents. North Carolina, Virginia, and Maryland are expected to receive heavy rainfall Friday and Saturday. Invest 95L has a 90 percent chance of becoming Jerry by Thursday but is forecast to track away from the US once it reaches the Caribbean.
