There is now a 60 percent chance that a tropical depression forms near the United States this Independence Day weekend, but those along the Gulf Coast can breathe easier for now. The National Hurricane Center has shifted where forecasters think the disturbance will form from the Gulf to the southwestern Atlantic, off the Southeast coast.

An area of low pressure could develop over Florida, bringing lots of rain during the 4th of July weekend, according to the National Hurricane Center. The area of low pressure could develop from a remnant frontal boundary near or along the southeastern U.

Fourth of July holiday weekend could feature the formation of a subtropical or tropical depression from near Florida to off the Southeast Coast.
