There is a 40-60 percent chance that a weather system moving over the Atlantic could develop into a tropical storm, according to a two-day weather outlook issued by the National Hurricane Center.

Shower and thunderstorm activity associated with the low pressure system located just offshore of the east coast of Florida remains disorganized, according to the NHC.

The system is forecast to move westward across the Florida Peninsula today, reaching the northeastern Gulf by Wednesday.

A tropical depression could form while the system moves across the northeastern and north-central Gulf.

Heavy rainfall could produce localized flash flooding over portions of Florida through mid-week, according to the weather outlook.

Flash flooding could also occur for portions of the north-central Gulf Coast during the middle to latter portions of this week.
