BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2025 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — What the system in yellow on the National Hurricane Center tracking map is unlikely to become a named storm before it traverses the Florida Peninsula, it is expected to bring heavy rain and possible flooding to South Florida over the weekend. That system joins the developing system that is now represented by the orange oval to the east of Florida. That is a system to watch.
Here’s the afternoon update from the NHC, as transmitted to BocaNewsNow.com:
Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
200 PM EDT Fri Oct 3 2025
For the North Atlantic… Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico (America):
Bahamas and Southern Florida: A weak area of low pressure located near the central and northwestern Bahamas is producing disorganized shower activity. This system is expected to drift west-northwestward across the northwestern Bahamas and toward southern Florida during the next couple of days. Strong upper-level winds are expected to prevent significant development of the low, however the combination of the disturbance and the broader remnant boundary is still expected to produce heavy rainfall and possible flooding across portions of Florida and the Bahamas through the weekend.
- Formation chance through 48 hours…low…10 percent.
- Formation chance through 7 days…low…10 percent.
Tropical Atlantic: A tropical wave has just emerged off the coast of Africa. The wave is forecast to interact with another disturbance over the eastern tropical Atlantic, and then move westward after that. Environmental conditions are expected to become conducive for some slow development of the system in a few days, and a tropical depression could form near or east of the Lesser Antilles by the end of next week.
- Formation chance through 48 hours…low…near 0 percent.
- Formation chance through 7 days…medium…50 percent.
