Past 24-Hour Precip Totals
Hurricane Forecast
Two areas of concern will likely evolve into the next two tropical storms for the Atlantic. Those storms are expected to develop over the next 48-72 hours. Neither one pose a threat to the US at this time, and there are indications that both systems may stay out at sea. Nevertheless, both bear watching over the coming week.
