After Tropical Storm Chantal made landfall in South Carolina over the Fourth of July weekend bringing flash flooding to central North Carolina, the tropics are now quiet. Well, sort of.

A system of low pressure could develop near Florida or off the southeastern coast of the U.S. over the Fourth of July weekend, or early next week.

During the early months of hurricane season, storms historically develop close to the U.S. and Florida. Later in the season, more storms develop out of tropical waves moving off the coast of Africa, giving residents in the path more time to prepare.
