SUMMARY: A potential tropical storm could develop today along the East Coast, with a 70% chance of formation, possibly becoming a named storm by tomorrow. Current weather shows hot temperatures in the upper 80s to low 90s, feeling like upper 90s to triple digits in some areas. Light, hit-or-miss showers are passing through, with occasional thunderstorms expected later this afternoon into the evening, especially near coastal and river parishes. By fireworks time, skies should clear up. Travelers along the coast and towards the Carolinas should prepare for rain through the weekend into Monday. Rain chances will increase late weekend, but no major washout expected today.

The NHC has an area of interest off the east coast of the United States highlighted for potential development this weekend.
