ORLANDO, Fla. – After a few days with no tropical development expected, a disorganized area of clouds and showers has developed around the Turks and Caicos Islands.
Upper-level winds are expected to be marginally conducive for slow development of this system while it moves west-northwestward through Monday followed by a slow northwestward motion through the end of the week.

With the untapped waters off the Florida coast being extremely warm, some development of this system is possible as it meanders near the southeast coast of the U.S.
The National Hurricane Center gives this area a 20% chance for development over the next few days. It is too early to tell if rain chances will increase in Central Florida.
