Right now, I'm more concerned about eastern islands, specifically Hispaniola, Cuba, and the Bahamas. A tropical wave is currently located near eastern Cuba and causing showers and thunderstorms, and an area of low pressure is expected to form along the wave tonight as it moves near the southeastern Bahamas. The low is forecast to become a tropical depression by the time it reaches the central Bahamas this weekend.
There is a significant risk of wind, rainfall, and storm-surge damage from the storm for a portion of the southeastern coast early next week, although considerable uncertainty remains about the long-term track of the storm. I've seen all sorts of models and predictions, many of which show it making landfall along the Georgia or South Carolina coast and traveling inland toward Atlanta.
I don't like those forecasts, not one little bit.
