Low Pressure in the Gulf Could Bring Concerns to Southeast Coast

June 1 starts the 2023 Atlantic hurricane season and we are monitoring an area of low pressure over the Gulf of Mexico. While this system has a low chance of development, it still could have some impacts on the Central Gulf Coast.

The National Hurricane Center has placed a “10% formation chance through 48 hours” and a “20% formation chance through 7 days.” In addition, “environmental conditions appear only marginally favorable for additional development over the next several days as the system meanders over the eastern Gulf of Mexico.”

Possible Timing & Potential Impacts

Right now this system is projected to move across the Florida Peninsula this weekend and emerge into the southwestern Atlantic Ocean by early next week. This could usher in heavy rainfall and gusty winds for that area.

In addition, The Weather Channel said this could mean “more high surf and rip currents to parts of the Southeast coast.”

This is a developing weather system, and I will continue to monitor over the next few days and bring you any updates.

25 costliest hurricanes of all time

Although the full extent of damage caused by Hurricane Ian in the Southwest is still being realized, Ian is already being called one of the costliest storms to ever hit the U.S. Stacker took a look at NOAA data to extrapolate the costliest U.S. hurricanes of all time.

LOOK: The most expensive weather and climate disasters in recent decades

Stacker ranked the most expensive climate disasters by the billions since 1980 by the total cost of all damages, adjusted for inflation, based on 2021 data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The list starts with Hurricane Sally, which caused $7.3 billion in damages in 2020, and ends with a devastating 2005 hurricane that caused $170 billion in damage and killed at least 1,833 people.
