Near the Southeastern U.S.: An area of low pressure could develop near the southeast U.S. Atlantic or Gulf coasts by this weekend along a weakening frontal boundary. A tropical or subtropical depression may form in the region this weekend or early next week while the system moves little. There is a medium chance of tropical formation through the next seven days.
