A potential tropical system could dump heavy rain on Florida this week
The National Hurricane Center is watching the northern half of the state for potential tropical development this week, but forecasters give it a low chance of happening — 20% over the next seven days.
Still, they say a frontal boundary could slow and stall in the area, potentially forming an area of low pressure near north Florida or over the eastern Gulf.
'Some gradual tropical or subtropical development could occur thereafter as the low moves little,' the hurricane center said Monday.
Global storm models show the potential for development, but a relatively low likelihood, hence the 20% figure from the NHC.
'It doesn't look like it could be much, but with a holiday coming up it could make for a few wet days for parts of Florida,' Jim Cantore of the Weather Channel posted on X.
The rain could arrive by the middle of the week and hang out until the weekend, said the Miami office of the National Weather Service.
'While uncertainty remains, this may result in some threat of flooding for South Florida if persistent rounds of heavy rainfall occur over urban areas. Forecast specifics will likely become more clear as we move forward in time,' forecasters said Sunday.
Over the weekend, the second tropical storm of the season — Barry — sprang up over the coast of Mexico. Like Andrea before it last week, it was a short-lived storm.
The next name on the list is Chantal.

Juventus coach Igor Tudor complains of tough Florida weather conditions during loss to Real Madrid
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Juventus coach Igor Tudor complained about the tough weather conditions in South Florida following the team's elimination from the Club World Cup with a 1-0 loss Tuesday to Real Madrid in the round of 16. The gametime temperature for the 3 p.m. start was 86 degrees (30 Celsius) with 70% humidity at Hard Rock Stadium, site of seven World Cup matches next year. The humidity made it feel like 90 degrees (32 Celsius). 'We played under really difficult conditions. The players were really fatigued,' Tudor said. Tudor said 10 players asked during the game to be replaced, but he did not identify them by name. After a 1-hour, 53-minute delay during a round of 16 win over Benfica on Saturday at Charlotte, North Carolina, Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca had said the U.S. is not the right host country for the Club World Cup. Juventus and Inter Milan both were eliminated in the round of 16, leaving no Italian clubs in the quarterfinals. 'It's a lot of factors that weighed in,' Tudor said. 'It's the end of the season. They had a lot of stress on them, that takes away energy as well and then the heat is another thing that makes things more difficult.' Juve's loss to Real is one of the least surprising results of the round of 16, but the heat wave in the United States during this past month has been of concern to players and their unions . Juventus is off until an Aug. 10 friendly at Borussia Dortmund on Aug 10, then opens the Serie A season against Parma at home on the weekend of Aug. 24-25. ___ AP soccer:
