Miami, FL – Forecasters are tracking several tropical disturbances this weekend, including one near the Bahamas that could bring periods of heavy rain to parts of South Florida.
According to the National Hurricane Center (NHC), a weak low-pressure system near the northwest Bahamas is slowly drifting toward southern Florida. While development into a tropical system is not expected, localized downpours could affect the region through Sunday.
A second weak low in the north-central Gulf of Mexico is expected to move gradually west toward the Texas coast by Monday. Meteorologists say this system is also unlikely to develop but could enhance rain chances along the Gulf Coast.
Farther east, a tropical wave off the coast of Africa is showing signs of gradual organization. The NHC says a tropical depression could form next week as the system moves westward across the central tropical Atlantic, potentially nearing the Leeward Islands late next week.
In the eastern Pacific, Tropical Storm Octave remains well southwest of Baja California, while another disturbance off southwest Mexico may become a tropical depression soon.
Residents in Florida, the Bahamas, and southern Texas are urged to stay alert for periods of heavy rain and updated forecasts as conditions evolve.
