Hurricane center watching system off North Florida. It’s already causing rain across state
The National Hurricane Center is monitoring a disorganized weather system off North Florida that, while it has a low change of strengthening, could bring heavy rain showers across parts of the state and the southeastern United States.
Short-term, the system is not expected to develop but atmospheric conditions will improve next week as it moves west across the Florida Peninsula and over the eastern Gulf of America. In its 2 p.m. advisory, NHC forecasters gave the broad area of low pressure no chance of forming into a tropical cyclone in the next two days and a low 20% shot over the next week.
Regardless of the system strengthening, Florida is already experiencing rains from it, particularly in North and Central Florida.
Much of Broward County also has been under several severe thunderstorm warnings, as well as parts of Miami-Dade County — however the culprit of that weather are seabreezes, the National Weather Service of Miami said. Forecasters warned that parts of South Florida should expect to experience frequent lightning, heavy downpours and strong wind gusts of 40 mph or higher.
The inclement, rainy weather is forecast to continue through mid to late next week, with South Florida possibly seeing effects from the northern system then, forecasters said.
