WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — An area of disturbed weather in the Atlantic Ocean, east of Florida and the Bahamas, could bring showers and storms to South Florida later this week and into next weekend.
The National Hurricane Center is giving this area a 30% chance of tropical development over the next seven days.
"It has a very minimal chance of seeing any formation, but it does get close to us," WPTV First Alert Weather meteorologist Frances Peyton said.

There will be better rain chances on Tuesday through Thursday. Showers and few storms will be scattered and we are not expecting any severe weather over the next few days. Waves of rain will push in starting late Tuesday, but in-between we will see some sunshine. Winds remain strong through Friday, making hazardous boating and beach conditions. .
For Thursday and Friday, we'll be watching that tropical wave approach the southeast.
In it's wake, it will surge tropical moisture over us this weekend, which will bring another chance of showers and storms across South Florida.
"This weekend, it's gonna feel tropical," Peyton said. "Highs near 90. But it's going to be so humid and stormy at times."
Otherwise, we're also looking at the Bay of Campeche, where there's a high chance that an area of unsettled weather will become a tropical cyclone. That will head into Mexico and will not impact us in South Florida.
