The system has little to no chance of developing tropical characteristics before it makes it to Florida.

It will help create yet another wet afternoon, however.

Once it gets past us and into the Gulf on Saturday there is a 50% chance it could organize into a tropical system as it continues west-northwest.

An area in the Gulf of Mexico, south of the Florida Panhandle, has a 20% chance of development as it travels southwest over the next few days.

Way across the ocean there is a strong wave set to move off the African coast Thursday that the Hurricane Center is giving a 90% chance of becoming a named storm.

This one looks healthy and will be of great interest as it treks west.
