The National Hurricane Center put out a 5-day advisory for the east coast of the Southeast showing a small chance of tropical storm development in the 3-5 day period, which puts it smack in the middle of the holiday weekend.  Weather Underground published a story about this yesterday at https://www.wunderground.com/news/atlantic-basin-tropical-subtropical-development-late-may-early-june-2016#prclt-U7RW1mcz.

While this is not going to be a severe storm, it could bring rain, gusty winds and some high surf to the areas of the coast near the center of the storm, so if you have plans along the East Coast in that area, you will want to watch the weather alerts carefully for the latest information.
