A possible tropical depression is looming. That’s why South Florida is under flood watch

A low pressure system that was about 200 miles east of Daytona Beach Saturday morning is going to mess with South Florida’s weather through Monday, regardless of development, meteorologists say.

And that development stands a 60% chance over the weekend and into the next five days, according to the National Hurricane Center’s 8 a.m. report.

“Environmental conditions are forecast to become a bit more favorable for development and a tropical depression could form over the next day or so while the low meanders offshore of the Florida Peninsula,” the hurricane center said in its alert.

Though disorganized, showers and thunderstorms increased Saturday morning and brought downpours to the Florida Keys. It was unclear whether the storms led to a power outage in the Keys that lasted over two hours.

The National Weather Service in Miami issued a flood watch for portions of South Florida, including coastal and metro areas of Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach and Collier counties through Monday evening.
