Right now, the National Hurricane Center is highlighting a 20% chance of tropical development over the next seven days. But regardless of whether the system becomes more organized, our forecast for Central Florida remains essentially the same, tracking periods of tropical downpour through early next week.

After a relatively quiet start in the tropics, for the first time this season, there are now two areas being monitored, including one that will play a decent role in Florida’s weather heading into the weekend.

A wetter and stormier pattern returns to Central Florida as an area of low pressure develops near Florida’s west coast, bringing increasing rain chances through the weekend while its tropical future remains uncertain.

An area stretching from the eastern Gulf to the coast of the Carolinas is starting to gain more attention as chances grow for slow development into the weekend.
