If the system does form, it will be short-lived. It’s also moving away from land and therefore would not cause any damage to life or property. However, it could create strong rip currents along the coast.
As of Monday morning, the low pressure system was located about 120 miles south of Cape Hatteras.
The 2021 Atlantic Hurricane season officially began June 1. The first, and so far only, named storm of the season formed May 22 without causing any damage.
