We do have a new storm to watch just off the coast of Georgia. At 5pm Sunday evening, the National Hurricane Center began issuing advisories on Potential Tropical Cyclone Ten. This system is forecast to become a weak Tropical Storm Irma by late tonight before skirting the coast of the Carolinas Monday afternoon through Tuesday morning. Tropical storm watches are currently in place from South Santee River, South Carolina, to Duck, North Carolina.

Tropical storm conditions are possible within the watch area Monday night through Tuesday. This system is expected to produce total rain accumulations of 2 to 4 inches along the coast of the Carolinas and southeast Virginia, with possible isolated maximum amounts of 6 inches.
