7/19/26 2AM EDT Update:

Chances of tropical development have increased to 60% over the northeastern Gulf within the next 48 hours (and next 7 days). An area of low pressure in the northeastern Gulf is becoming better defined early this morning. It could become a tropical depression over the next couple of days as it moves slowly north to northwestward. Ultimate track forecast remains uncertain at this time.

Regardless of tropical development, locally heavy rain that could lead to isolated flash flooding is the primary concern along with gusty winds along the coast the next couple of days.
