A slow-developing, broad area of low pressure located over the far northern portion of the Gulf is threatening to bring heavy rain and flooding.

The system’s slow passage over Florida has meant days of rain throughout the state, leading to street flooding in South Florida. However, the Miami office of the National Weather Service expects the rain to slow down, alleviating any concerns about deep flooding.

A weather system moving across Florida is expected to lead to rounds of rain this week in the Tampa Bay area. An area of low pressure was positioned off Florida’s east coast Monday and was churning out showers and thunderstorms.

The threat of significant flooding across South Florida has passed for now, as rainfall totals on Monday came in within forecasted expectations.

A weather system moving across Florida wasn’t even a tropical something but it has the potential to develop into a tropical depression as it moves across the Gulf later in the week.

Nearly 50 protests are scheduled across Florida July 17, 2025, in response to 'civil and human attacks' made by Trump administration, organizers say.

Unlike Monday, which was a deluge for South Florida, today’s tropical-system-related rain is expected to be more concentrated in the center of the state. The Miami office of the National Weather Service predicts South Florida could see around 1 inch of rain on Tuesday and Wednesday, not enough for any severe flooding.

Residents in South Florida are encouraged to take the necessary precautions to avoid heat exhaustion and heat illness. Stay hydrated, drink plenty of water, stay in the shade or AC during the afternoon hours or take frequent breaks if you need to be outside over the next few days.

Florida’s Attorney General James Uthmeier jumped in to amplify the misinformation — citing a newly passed Florida law banning loosely defined “weather modification” practices that climatologists say have nothing to do with increasingly severe weather events.
