The National Hurricane Center on Tuesday increased its forecast chances a system already dumping rain on Florida could develop into the season’s next tropical depression or storm.

The National Hurricane Center has highlighted an area it's watching in the Gulf. Right now, there's a low chance for development.

Unlike Monday, which was a deluge for South Florida, today’s tropical-system-related rain is expected to be more concentrated in the center of the state. The Miami office of the National Weather Service predicts South Florida could see around 1 inch of rain on Tuesday and Wednesday, not enough for any severe flooding.

"Should development take place on the Atlantic side of Florida, it may once again drift northward toward the U.S. coast," Accuweather said on July 11. The more plausible option is development on the Gulf side, which could be steered westward along the northern Gulf Coast, the weather forecast company stated.

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring an area of low pressure that has a moderate chance of developing into a tropical depression or storm as it moves westward across the Gulf of Mexico this week.

A low pressure area located just offshore of the east coast of Florida has a 40% likelihood of evolving into a cyclone within the next 48 hours, the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) said on Tuesday.
