Potential tropical storm likely to form and bring heavy rains to South Florida, hurricane center says

It’ll be a wet weekend in South Florida as a low pressure system that could become a tropical depression or the Atlantic’s first named storm of 2022 approaches the state from the southeastern Gulf of Mexico.

But there’s some good news, too. The disturbance that was being watched near the Bahamas, off Florida’s east coast, has been given a near-zero chance of developing and is headed out to the sea away from the U.S., as of Thursday morning.

Rain is the biggest threat from the low pressure system that is a remnant of the Pacific’s Hurricane Agatha, which hit Mexico on Monday, and could become Tropical Storm Alex in the Atlantic.
