Invest 96L could become tropical depression in Atlantic while odds wane for Southeast coastal storm
A budding tropical disturbance in the central Atlantic Ocean was designated Invest 96L by the National Hurricane Center (NHC) on Wednesday, as it enters favorable conditions for gradual development in the next week. The NHC currently gives the system a medium chance of becoming a tropical depression or tropical storm.
In addition to Invest 96L, the NHC continues to watch a weak area of low pressure a few hundred miles off the Southeast U.S., producing minimal showers and thunderstorms. As of now, the NHC gives this system a low chance of development over the next seven days, which is a drop from earlier this week.

2 dead as heavy rainfall leads to flash flooding in Carolinas
A stalled frontal boundary draped across the Southeast, combined with developing areas of low pressure, is setting the stage for several more days of heavy rainfall from the Interstate 10 corridor northward through Georgia and the Carolinas.
The flooding is already responsible for the deaths of a man and a woman outside of Raleigh, North Carolina, in nearby Nash County. Authorities said the two were in their car when it was swept into a ravine. The two got themselves out onto the roof, but the rushing water swept them both away. Their bodies were found after a coordinated search.
