Forecasters with the National Hurricane Center (NHC) are monitoring an area of disturbed weather off the southeastern coast of the U.s. for the potential for tropical development.
The FOX Forecast Center has been monitoring rain and thunderstorms moving across the Florida Peninsula, which are increasing the risk of flash flooding and bringing the threat of severe weather to the Sunshine State.
According to the NHC, the activity over Florida could also spawn areas of disturbed weather off the Southeast coast that could eventually take on tropical characteristics by the end of the week.
Before that system potentially emerges off the Southeast coast later this week, it will spend days soaking Florida, which saw heavy rain and severe storms on Monday.
On Tuesday, a Level 2 out of 4 flash flood threat is in place for South Florida, where 3-5 inches of rain is possible by the end of the week. The rain over the Sunshine State is expected to last through Friday.
A broad area from Central Texas through the Ozarks and Michigan's Upper Peninsula is at risk of severe weather Tuesday afternoon and evening, with the most widespread storms expected in the central and southern Plains.
A cold front will move east through the day, bringing damaging wind gusts and large hail as the primary threats. Storms may even spawn a few tornadoes, particularly over parts of the central Plains.
On Wednesday, the severe weather threat will shift to the Great Lakes, but more disturbances are expected to move through the central and southern U.S., setting the stage for daily rounds of severe weather later in the week.
A small eruption in Yellowstone National Park that happened over the weekend was caught on video by a newly installed webcam.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the eruption happened Saturday evening at Black Diamond Pool in Biscuit Basin.

Barbara weakens to a tropical storm as it heads to cooler waters off the coast of Mexico
Associated Press MEXICO CITY (AP) — Tropical Storm Barbara gradually weakened as it continued heading northwest away from land Monday evening after strengthening to a hurricane earlier in the day. The storm marked the first of the eastern Pacific hurricane season. The National Hurricane Center in Miami said Monday swells generated by the storm system will affect portions of the coast of southwestern Mexico during the next few days. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Hurricane Barbara was located about 230 miles (370 kilometers) west of Manzanillo, Mexico. Its maximum sustained winds were clocked at 70 mph (110 kph). The storm's center was moving northwest at 12 mph (19 kph). The Center said Barbara was forecast to weaken overnight as it moved closer to the Baja Peninsula and should become a remnant low in the next day or two. No coastal warnings or watches were in effect Monday morning. But the storm had been expected earlier to bring heavy rainfall to coastal areas of Guerrero, Michoacan, Colima and Jalisco states, with the possibility of localized flooding. The hurricane center said swells from Barbara were likely to form life-threatening surf and rip current conditions along the southwestern Mexican coast, with gusty winds likely. Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Cosme strengthened slightly Monday but remained well off the coast of Mexico, about 600 miles (965 kilometers) south-southwest of the tip of Baja California, the NHC said. At 8 p.m. local time, it had maximum sustained winds of 70 mph (100 kph) and was moving northwest at 3 mph (5 kph). Cosme is expected to reach near-hurricane strength overnight before weakening later in the day.
