Tropical disturbance threatens Gulf Coast

A weather system moving across Florida wasn’t even a tropical something but it has the potential to develop into a tropical depression as it moves across the Gulf later in the week.
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.
Depression or no depression, the system could bring several inches of rain to the north-central Gulf Coast, including Alabama, through Friday. The National Weather Service in Mobile thinks that the most rain with this system will likely fall closer to the coast, with scattered storms possible.
A tropical weather system near the Florida Panhandle is showing a moderate chance of becoming a tropical depression.
The system’s slow passage over Florida has meant days of rain throughout the state, leading to street flooding in South Florida. However, the Miami office of the National Weather Service expects the rain to slow down, alleviating any concerns about deep flooding.
