MIAMI — The National Hurricane Center is still monitoring a system in the southwestern Atlantic Ocean that will bring increased rain chances to Florida and other parts of the southeastern U.S. later this week.
Forecasters said at 8 p.m. Tuesday that the weak trough of low pressure is located a few hundred miles south, southwest of Bermuda.
Significant development of this system appears unlikely while it moves west-northwestward toward the southeastern U.S. coast over the next several days.
The chance of tropical formation chance through the next 48 hours is low at nearly 0%, but through the next seven days, it is 10%.
