Tropical development possible near Southeast coast as August begins After a quiet stretch in the Atlantic, AccuWeather hurricane experts are monitoring three areas for tropical development into the first part of August, including near the Southeast coast. In a pattern similar to what led to the formation of Tropical Storm Chantal back in early July, a slow-moving front is expected to move towards the Southeast coast and stall, which could be enough to generate tropical activity during the beginning of August. #TropicalDevelopment #SoutheastCoastRisk #AugustStormWatch
