In the tropics, the area of ​​disturbed weather that developed east of the Bahamas earlier this week was on the verge of reaching depression status before making landfall late Friday. This system is now over Northern Florida and Georgia, bringing heavy rainfall to the region. Elsewhere, we see a low developing over the Yucatan and moving into the Bay of Campeche. This feature has a medium chance of developing and will bring heavy rain and gusty winds to parts of the Mexico and Texas coasts that are still experiencing flooding from Tropical Storm Alberto.
