A low-pressure system is expected to bring heavy rainfall to southern Florida, with potential flooding and urban flash flooding. The system is forecast to move from the Gulf of Mexico across Florida, affecting areas including Miami and Fort Lauderdale. The National Weather Service has issued flood watches and warnings for the region, with an emphasis on remaining weather aware. The system is also anticipated to produce heavy rain in the Bahamas and along the US East Coast. The potential for tropical development is low, but the impact on Florida and the Southeast is significant.
