Tropics: Gulf of Mexico disturbance brings rain chances to SWFL

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms associated with a surface trough of low pressure interacting with an upper-level trough over the eastern Gulf of Mexico. The proximity of this low keeps our afternoon rain chance very high in the next few days. Our rain chances will stay 70-80% through at least Friday as this low meanders over the Gulf.
