The system is expected to move west across Florida by the end of Tuesday.
According to the NHC, environmental conditions are preferred to support the gradual development of this system, as they will move westwardly through the northeastern and north-central parts of the Gulf Coast from the center to the end of this week.
Torrential rain could cause flash flooding from the middle of this week to parts of Gulf Bay.
The NHC said tropical depression could be formed by the “center to late” of the week.
The chance of formation over the next 48 hours is 30%, but the chance of formation over the next 7 days is 40%.
