We’re watching two systems in the Atlantic Ocean as we begin a new week. First, a disturbance off the North Carolina coast is showing signs of organizing. Based on computer models, the system may develop into something stronger, but it looks like it’s going to be absorbed by a frontal boundary and taken out to sea.

The second system is the same disturbance we’ve been watching for nearly a week. It continues moving west in the Atlantic and now has a 50 percent chance of becoming an organized system within 48 hours and a 70 percent chance within seven days. We’re still expecting it to make a northern turn. We’ll keep watching to see when and if it becomes Emily and the direction it takes.

Here at home, it’s going to be another hot, mostly dry day. We will have some fog early Monday morning, but that should burn off quickly, leaving behind hot, sunny skies.

Even though rain chances are very low, there is a chance that any storm that does develop could become severe. There is a Level 1 risk for the counties along the Mississippi River. Main threats include strong winds, hail, and heavy rain.
