The National Hurricane Center on Monday increased its forecast chances a system already dumping rain on Florida could develop into the season’s next tropical depression or storm.

"Should development take place on the Atlantic side of Florida, it may once again drift northward toward the U.S. coast," Accuweather said on July 11. The more plausible option is development on the Gulf side, which could be steered westward along the northern Gulf Coast, the weather forecast company stated.

A system expected to move cross Florida into the Gulf has a low chance for tropical development this week. Regardless of development, heavy rain is forecast across most of Florida during the week. The next named storm of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season will be Dexter.
