WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — A gloomy and overcast sky continues across the area with rain chances continuing overnight.

We're tracking an area of lower pressure just to our east.

"This is gonna feed in a lot of moisture," WPTV First Alert Weather meteorologist Steve Villanueva said.

The National Hurricane Center is also watching an area of lower pressure off the east coast, but now say it doesn't have a chance to develop tropically before moving ashore in the Carolinas and Georgia.

"It is battling some unfavorable winds," Villanueva said.

Development is unlikely with this system before it moves inland across the southeast United States near the Carolinas.

"Once it's off land, then the tropical threat is pretty much over," Villanueva added.

Behind that, an area of higher pressure builds into the Atlantic. This high will create an onshore flow for us, so we are back to a typical summertime pattern this weekend.

This will bring us generally morning showers along the coast, with inland thunderstorms during the afternoon. Otherwise, we're partly sunny with daytime highs around 90°.
