Be sure to keep your umbrellas handy this Memorial Day Weekend.
Forecasters say a disturbance in the western Caribbean continues to threaten the South Florida area with potential downpours starting at the end of this week.
Development of a tropical or subtropical system in the central or eastern Gulf of Mexico this Memorial Day weekend is now being characterized as “likely” by the National Hurricane Center with a 40 percent chance over the next two days and 80 percent over the next five days.
The increased chance of development doesn’t change much in regards for what’s expected in South Florida: a flooding threat, with negligible chances for a wind storm.
