A cold front lingers around the northern part of the state and could develop into something tropical or sub-tropical near the Southeast Atlantic coast this weekend or early next week.

According to an AccuWeather map, Florida, Missouri, Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, and parts of Arkansas and Louisiana will be affected by gusty storms and locally heavy rains over the weekend which can disrupt outdoor plans amid possible tropical development near the coast.

On Thursday morning, the National Hurricane Center increased the chance to 50% over the next seven days. A tropical depression or storm could form as early as Sunday or Monday.
