A system in the Gulf of America could bring heavy rainfall and flash flooding to portions of Florida as it moves onshore.

The hatched areas on the National Hurricane Center's tropical outlook map indicate "areas where a tropical cyclone — which could be a tropical depression, tropical storm or hurricane — could develop," said National Hurricane Center Deputy Director Jamie Rhome.

The system has a high chance of developing into a tropical depression or storm soon, but remains far from land for now. It's long-term future track next week remains uncertain.
