As mangoes reach peak ripeness, some Miami-area restaurants are accepting them as currency, offering cocktails, desserts and bread in exchange for the tropical fruit.

Jacksonville, Fl. — THE TROPICS: Tropics threats/impacts for Jacksonville/NE Florida/SE Georgia: None. The Atlantic hurricane season is June 1st through Nov. 30th. (1) An active tropical wave has moved west from Africa - one of the strongest of the season so far but no surprise as we get deeper into the Atlantic hurricane season.

A weather system moving across Florida wasn’t even a tropical something but it has the potential to develop into a tropical depression as it moves across the Gulf later in the week.

Unlike Monday, which was a deluge for South Florida, today’s tropical-system-related rain is expected to be more concentrated in the center of the state. The Miami office of the National Weather Service predicts South Florida could see around 1 inch of rain on Tuesday and Wednesday, not enough for any severe flooding.

Depression or no depression, the system could bring several inches of rain to the north-central Gulf Coast, including Alabama, through Friday. The National Weather Service in Mobile thinks that the most rain with this system will likely fall closer to the coast, with scattered storms possible.

Some changes arrive to the forecast on Monday. Higher moisture will start to work back into North Florida and South Georgia. As high pressure slides to the west, tropical moisture flows back into the area from the northeast. This will make the hot afternoon in the upper 90s feel oppressive near 110, probably the worst day in the forecast.

The system’s slow passage over Florida has meant days of rain throughout the state, leading to street flooding in South Florida. However, the Miami office of the National Weather Service expects the rain to slow down, alleviating any concerns about deep flooding.

Heavy rainfall with a risk for flash floods are predicted across portions of Florida as Invest 93L moves across the state.

L continues to move westward across the Gulf Coast and is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms, according to the National Hurricane Center. The system is expected to continue moving westward across the northern portion of the Gulf,
