Slight chances of showers continues! Partly cloudy skies with highs in the upper 80s. Southeast winds of near 5 mph. Slight chance of showers and thunderstorms.

A Coastal Flood Statement remains in effect for all of the Florida Keys through tonight. Minor saltwater flooding of low elevation streets and lots is likely around the times of higher high tide. Some storm drains will overflow, and some seawalls and docks will be overtopped. Boaters should expect less clearance under fixed bridges. Motorists should remember that persistent puddles around the times of high tide are almost certain to contain a mix of saltwater. For more information on coastal flooding in the Florida Keys, refer to weather.gov/key/coastal_flooding.

Showers and thunderstorms are showing signs of organization in association with a broad area of low pressure located over the southwestern Gulf of America. Continued development of this system is expected, and a tropical depression is anticipated to form over the next day or so while it drifts eastward. The low pressure area could bring gusty winds and areas of heavy rain to the western portions of the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico in a couple of days. The disturbance is expected to turn to the north or northeast toward the northern Gulf Coast by the end of the week. It is still too early to determine specific impacts to the northern Gulf Coast, but interests from the Florida Panhandle to Louisiana should closely monitor the progress of this system. The NOAA Gulfstream is scheduled to sample the environment over the Gulf later today and an Air Force reconnaissance aircraft is scheduled to investigate the system tomorrow. * Formation chance through 48 hours...high...90 percent. * Formation chance through 7 days...high...90 percent.
