A tropical trough moving across the Florida Peninsula will move into the northern Gulf over the next two days. The National Hurricane Center says there’s a 20 percent chance of development in the next week. 

As the trough moves, it will pull tropical moisture across the state, leading to significant rainfall in southeast Florida. We could see up to 2 inches of rain per hour during storms on Monday, with localized accumulations of up to 3-4 inches.
