Tropical Update - Possible Alberto to form Next Week, no threat to land

A cold front that will push off the US coast will stall over the warm waters of the Atlantic early next week with a wave of low pressure forming along it, roughly 1100 miles east of Florida.  This low will sit and could take on tropical or subtropical characteristics, with winds around 55 mph.

No threat to any land is expected.  If it gets above 39 mph, it would be named Alberto. (if it gains enough tropical characteristics, which the models do hint at.)

In the month of April, two other sub tropical cyclones have formed in 1992 and in 2002.
