Meanwhile, an area of low pressure located inland over South Florida is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms that extend to the Bahamas and the adjacent. The National Hurricane Center says chances of this system developing remain at 70 percent over the next 48 hours and 90 percent over the next 5 days. The system is expected to bring heavy rain to Florida over the weekend.

"A tropical or subtropical depression is likely to form early next week while the system moves northeastward over the Atlantic offshore of the southeastern United States coast," NHC reports.
