Tropical Storm Gordon has formed in the Atlantic Basin. It is not expected to do much at this time. Additionally, an area off the Georgia coast to the east has a 40% chance to become a depression in the next 7 days. Even if it does not, it will aide in keeping cloud cover and moisture over Georgia well into next week.
