System over Florida has potential to develop into tropical depression, weather service says

Washington Post4 days ago
ORLANDO, Fla. — A drenching weather system moving across Florida on Tuesday wasn't even a tropical anything but has the potential to develop into a tropical depression as it moves into the northeastern and northern Gulf later in the week, according to National Weather Service forecasters.
The system would be called Tropical Storm Dexter if it became a named storm, but it was expected to be far less lethal than the namesake vigilante serial killer of the Showtime crime drama, 'Dexter' which was set in Florida.
