Stalled front over Florida fueling heavy rain, flash flooding could gain tropical characteristics this week
MIAMI – Florida is forecast to get soaked with days of heavy rain this week, prompting an elevated risk of flash flooding as an area of low pressure fueled by tropical moisture from the Gulf and Caribbean develops over South Florida. This system could even take on some tropical characteristics by the end of the week. "I wouldn't be terribly surprised if we saw a low chance off the Southeast coast pop up on the (tropical weather) outlook sometime later today or tomorrow," National Hurricane Center (NHC) Director Michael Brennan told FOX Weather Monday morning, referring to the NHC's seven-day tropical weather outlook. Atlantic Hurricane Season Kicks Off Without Named Storm For Fourth Year In A Row While computer forecast models are not in agreement regarding the exact track of this system, South Florida is expected to see the bulk of the rain. Miami, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach could all pick up 3-5 inches of rainfall by Friday. As the system stalls, a few severe thunderstorms are possible Monday across the Florida Peninsula, where a Level 1 out of 5 risk of severe weather has been issued by NOAA's Storm Prediction Center. Meanwhile, a Level 2 out of 4 flash flood threat is posted for South Florida on Monday and Tuesday, according to Noaa's Weather Prediction Center. "[With] tropical afternoon thundershowers, you've got the heavy rain, the lightning, the wind," FOX Weather Meteorologist Michael Estime warned. "It's everything falling from the sky at that point." Bryan Norcross: Welcome To Hurricane Season 2025 "It's hard to drive in those situations," FOX Weather Meteorologist Craig Herrera added. Forecasters are closely monitoring this system to see whether it develops any tropical characteristics that would warrant an outlook from the NHC. The area off the southeastern U.s. coast generally supports tropical development this time of year. "That's a pretty typical location for formation as we get into June," Brennan said. "This is where we tend to see storms form in June, from the Gulf, across Florida, off the Southeast and mid-Atlantic coast. It's a great reminder that, typically in June, those storms do tend to form pretty close to home, and people need to be ready and keep an eye out." One major factor in determining tropical development is how close this system stays to land. "The low is expected to remain either over land or very close to the coast, which would limit any potential for organization early on," the FOX Forecast Center noted. However, if the system moves off the southeastern U.S. coast, there could be a low chance of tropical development there. More tropical moisture is expected to arrive in Florida by Thursday, bringing more thunderstorms on Thursday and Friday. The rain from this system should alleviate some of the ongoing drought conditions in Florida as the dry season comes to an end for the Sunshine article source: Stalled front over Florida fueling heavy rain, flash flooding could gain tropical characteristics this week

First Tropical Storm of Season Gets Named, Here's Where It's Headed
The first named stormed of the 2025 hurricane season has arrived, and it's making its way over the Eastern Pacific Ocean. Located about 500 miles south-southeast of the southern tip of Mexico's Baja California Peninsula, Tropical Storm Alvin is currently being monitored by the National Hurricane Center (NHC). According to FOX Weather Hurricane Specialist Bryan Norcross, Tropical Storm Alvin formed in the Eastern Pacific. 'The Eastern Pacific season kicked off right on schedule. The ocean water off the southern coast of Mexico is always quite warm, and this year the atmospheric pattern over that part of the ocean is quite conducive for development,' Norcross said. 'Alvin has a good chance of intensifying significantly over the open water. As it tracks farther north, however, the water cools quickly. So, if Alvin affects Cabo San Lucas or nearby areas in northern Mexico, for example, it looks likely to be a weakening storm.' Not only does Tropical Storm Alvin mark the first storm of the season in the Eastern Pacific, but it's the first across all ocean basins throughout the Northern Hemisphere. Tropical Storm Alvin is forecasted to stay far enough offshore that its effects on the Mexican coast will be minimal, limited primarily to larger swells and stronger rip currents along coastal areas. There are as many as 18 named storms and 10 hurricanes forecasted for this year, according to Mexico's National Weather Service. Alvin is expected to reach cooler waters by Friday before it fall apart south of Mexico's Baja California Peninsula.

Manhattanhenge set to grace New York City skyline amidst uncertain skies
NEW YORK – While New York City eagerly anticipates Manhattanhenge, uncertain skies threaten to obscure the borough's radiant display. The first alignment of the setting Sun with Manhattan's street grid is scheduled for 8:13 p.m. ET Wednesday. However, the FOX Forecast Center said clouds would likely obscure the evening display. "Conditions … not looking so great," FOX Weather Meteorologist Kendall Smith said. For those unfamiliar, Manhattanhenge is a unique annual celestial event that occurs about three weeks before and after the summer solstice along the east-west streets of Manhattan at sunset. The remarkable sight ultimately transforms the borough's architecture into a dramatic, glowing canyon. These Photos Of The Sun Will Put Your 4K Tv To Shame The best locations to view Manhattanhenge include 14th Street, 23rd Street, 34th Street, 42nd Street and 57th Street. "It really is a sight to behold," said FOX Weather Meteorologist Stephen Morgan, who has been among the many New Yorkers and visitors alike who are known to flock to prime viewing spots to capture this fleeting, magical moment. While Wednesday night's viewing might be a wash, there's good news for hopeful spectators, the FOX Forecast Center said. Manhattanhenge will occur again on Thursday evening, when there is a better chance of breaks in the rain. If this week's events are a bust, mark your calendars for July 13, when another opportunity to witness Manhattanhenge will arise. Stay with FOX Weather, as we will share any captivating images that emerge from this week's alignment. How To Watch Fox Weather Renowned astrophysicist and science expert Neil deGrasse Tyson first coined the phrase in the 1990s, and it has since become an annual tourist attraction. Tyson said he was influenced by England's Stonehenge, a prehistoric monument known for its alignment with the Sun. The 13-foot-high stones align with the solstices and some other celestial events, but their exact purpose remains unclear and is debated by article source: Manhattanhenge set to grace New York City skyline amidst uncertain skies
