MIAMI – It was a wet start to parts of South Florida Friday morning, with scattered showers causing some heavy rain showers and localized flooding.

Some showers are possible in the afternoon. Highs will rise into the upper 80s and low 90s and it will feel like the upper 90s and 100s.

A few localized storms are possible on Saturday, but rain chances increase on Sunday into early next week due to the disruption in the Gulf of Mexico. Numerous to widespread storms are possible from Sunday into early next week, with the threat of flooding. The CBS Miami NEXT Weather team has issued NEXT Alerts for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday due to the potential for heavy rain and flooding.

The National Hurricane Center gives the Gulf of Mexico system a medium development potential (40% chance). A broad area of ​​low pressure is expected to form over the southwestern or south-central Gulf of Mexico this weekend and gradual development is possible as the low pressure area slowly moves eastward or northeastward.

The National Hurricane Center says a tropical or subtropical depression or storm could form early to mid next week if the low remains separated from a frontal boundary expected to extend across the Gulf of Mexico next week. Regardless of development, all the deep tropical moisture associated with this system will bring heavy rainfall and the potential for flooding to South Florida.
