A broad non-tropical area of low pressure located over the northeastern Gulf of Mexico is producing widespread cloudiness, showers, and thunderstorms across much of Florida, southeastern Georgia and a good portion of the Bahamas.  This system has not
become any better organized since yesterday and conditions are becoming even less favorable for subtropical or tropical cyclone formation.  This system, however, will continue to produce locally heavy rainfall and possible flash flooding across portions of Florida and the southeastern United States during the next few days while the low moves generally northward. For more information on this system, please see products issued by your local weather office. The next Special Tropical Weather Outlook on this system will be issued by 9 AM EDT on Wednesday.
* Formation chance through 48 hours…low…10 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days…low…10 percent.
