The FOX Forecast Center is monitoring an area off the Eastern Seaboard that could lead to a tropical disturbance developing over the western Atlantic, spelling trouble for those with Memorial Day weekend plans along the Southeast coast.
No matter whether tropical development occurs, some Florida communities are in store for several inches of rainfall over the next few days as a cold front stalls near the state.
A low-pressure system is then expected to develop along that stalled cold front and curve westward into the Carolinas over the Memorial Day weekend. As a result, periods of heavy rain, rough surf and gusty winds are likely along parts of the Southeast coast, dampening some holiday weekend beach plans.
The southern Plains will once again have the chance for severe storms on Tuesday. Large hail and damaging winds will be the primary threats across portions of western and west-central Texas during the afternoon and evening.
Whale watchers were in for quite the surprise as they watched a 12-foot great white shark devouring its next meal just feet from their boat.
“The entire event only lasted around 7 minutes from when we first saw the shark quickly break the surface of the water, in what we think was the initial strike, to when the seal was consumed,” the whale-watching group said.
Officials warn that sharks are back in the area, and it is a great reminder to be shark smart when venturing out into open waters.
