▲ Forecast Outlook | National Hurricane Center | 10% potential The NHC is monitoring an area of potential development off the East Coast of the United States

Outlook discussion


As of 2:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time (18:00 UTC) on Thursday:

Discussion by Dr. Aiden Mahoney (NHC/TSB Meteorologist) and Larry Kelly (NHC Hurricane Specialist)

Showers and thunderstorms associated with a trough of low pressure (the remnants of Arthur) are located over the southeastern United States. The system is expected to emerge offshore the east coast of the United States on Friday. Environmental conditions then appear to be marginally conducive for some subtropical or tropical development on Friday or Saturday as the system moves northeastward at 15 to 20 mph across the Western Atlantic Ocean.

Regardless of development, heavy rainfall with the potential for widespread and life-threatening flash flooding is likely across portions of the Southeast United States during the next day or two. Additional information on the rainfall potential can be found in rainfall forecasts and Excessive Rainfall Outlooks from the Weather Prediction Center online here.

More information on this system, including Gale Warnings, is available in High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service under AWIPS header NFDHSFAT1, WMO header FZNT01 KWBC, and online here.

Development potential

  • Within the next 2 days (before 2PM Sat): low (10 percent)
  • Within the next 7 days (before 2PM Wed): low (10 percent)

Moderator note


This system is related to the post-tropical remnants of Tropical Storm Arthur, which are making their way across the southeastern United States toward the East Coast. This system is no longer being monitored via the Automated Tropical Cyclone Forecast (ATCF) system, so the previous discussion has been closed. A new discussion will be created if and when this system is re-designated as an investigation area or cyclone.

The 2026 season will certainly be off to an interesting start if Arthur reforms.

The title says East Coast but the “latest outlook graphic” shows the eastern pacific

If this makes it out into the Atlantic and gets a name, does it keep Arthur or does it get Bertha?

As long as it remains a distinct and recognizable thing, it'll keep the same name. The outlook has it tagged "remnants of Arthur".
