ORLANDO, Fla. — A low-pressure system has formed in the North Atlantic, moving along the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico with thunderstorms and showers becoming more organized, according to the National Hurricane Center update at 2 p.m. EDT.
The system is located 500 miles east-southeast of the Georgia-South Carolina border, and forecasters predict it will keep developing through Sunday and Monday, when the system will move through warmer waters and become a tropical depression before makes its landfall along the southern U.S coast, the report said.
“The low is expected to move westward today, and then west-northwestward at about 15 mph on Monday, reaching the coast of the southeastern United States by late Monday,” said Stacy. R Stewart and Andrew Latto, NHC hurricane specialists.
