A disorganized low-pressure area off Florida's east coast is showing increasing chances of becoming a tropical depression or tropical storm later in the week, the National Hurricane Center said. Even now, it's already having an influence on Florida weather with isolated torrential rain.

The National Hurricane Center on Tuesday increased its forecast chances a system already dumping rain on Florida could develop into the season’s next tropical depression or storm.

The National Hurricane Center said July 15 it is continuing to track a system off the coast of Florida that could soon become a tropical depression.

Unlike Monday, which was a deluge for South Florida, today’s tropical-system-related rain is expected to be more concentrated in the center of the state. The Miami office of the National Weather Service predicts South Florida could see around 1 inch of rain on Tuesday and Wednesday, not enough for any severe flooding.

The hatched areas on the National Hurricane Center's tropical outlook map indicate "areas where a tropical cyclone — which could be a tropical depression, tropical storm or hurricane — could develop," said National Hurricane Center Deputy Director Jamie Rhome.

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring an area of low pressure that has a moderate chance of developing into a tropical depression or storm as it moves westward across the Gulf of Mexico this week.
