A weak area of low pressure is moving across the Southeast and could bring days of heavy rain to Florida. While tropical development is still uncertain, the system is expected to soak the state with 3–5 inches of rain, triggering potential flash flooding. The National Hurricane Center is watching the Gulf closely as the system heads into warm waters later this week. Meanwhile, a lightning strike at St. Augustine Beach injured three people, showing just how dangerous these storms can be. Stay updated as we track this evolving weather threat.

00:00Something's brewing off the southeast coast, and it could soon drench Florida with days
00:04of heavy rain.
00:05A weak area of low pressure is sliding off the coast and heading straight for the Sunshine
00:09State.
00:11By midweek, it's expected to cross northern Florida and move into the warm waters of the
00:15Gulf of Mexico.
00:17And that's where things could take a tropical turn.
00:19The National Hurricane Center says development chances are low for now, but don't let your
00:24guard down.
00:25This system will have days to gather strength over warm waters, just enough to stir up trouble.
00:30Even without turning tropical, it's already a soaking situation.
00:34Florida is bracing for 3 to 5 inches of rain this week, maybe more in storms.
00:39Some areas could see 1 to 3 inches per hour, raising the risk of flash floods.
00:43And just this weekend, severe weather struck early.
00:46Lightning hit St. Augustine Beach Pier, injuring three people, one critically.
00:51With the Gulf heating up and storms on the move, forecasters are watching every swirl and spin.
00:56There's no credible threat just yet, but stay alert.
00:59Because the tropics might just be waking up.
