Potential tropical storm’s biggest threat to South Florida is rain

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — It’ll be a wet weekend in South Florida as a disturbance that could become the Atlantic’s first named storm of 2022 approaches the state from the southeastern Gulf of Mexico.

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

“The bottom line is this system, as it moves north, will slowly organize and it’s very possible we could have a depression perhaps as early as maybe late (Thursday) or first thing Friday,” said AccuWeather senior meteorologist Dan Kottlowski.
