ORLANDO, Fla. —
A weak area of low pressure could form over Florida this week, potentially soaking parts of the state with rain during the Fourth of July weekend, according to the National Hurricane Center.
The system may develop from a lingering frontal boundary near or along the southeastern U.S. Atlantic and Gulf coasts. While it could acquire some tropical or subtropical characteristics, forecasters currently do not expect it to strengthen into a tropical storm or hurricane.
The main impacts for Florida will be increased rainfall and scattered thunderstorms. From Friday through Sunday, rain chances will hover around 60%, with some areas possibly receiving 3 to 4 inches of rain.
As of now, the probability of formation is low, sitting near 0% over the next 48 hours. However, that chance rises slightly to 20% over the next seven days.
