Miami, Florida – An area of low pressure could bring rounds of heavy rainfall to South Florida late this week as forecasters monitor a potential tropical system in the Gulf and western Atlantic.
According to the National Hurricane Center, there’s a 20% chance that the disturbance develops into a tropical or subtropical cyclone over the next seven days. The system is expected to form near an old frontal boundary offshore of the southeastern U.S. by Friday or Saturday.
While the development odds remain low, the main concern is torrential rainfall across parts of Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties starting late in the workweek. Urban flooding, especially in low-lying areas, could become an issue if the system strengthens or stalls.
Residents and visitors are urged to review hurricane season plans, ensure emergency kits are stocked, and continue monitoring updates through the National Weather Service and NOAA. Roads like US-1 and I-95 could become slick or flooded in heavier bursts of rain.
This is South Florida’s first tropical weather chance event of the 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season. No watches or warnings are in effect yet, but conditions could change quickly.
Stay weather-aware: updates are expected daily as the system evolves.
