A high-level meteorological system will form near the east coast of the Gulf of Mexico by the weekend and, in combination with tropical humidity, can lead to numerous rainfalls and thunderstorms.

This combination of weather conditions can become a tropical depression, a storm in the northeastern bay or off the southeast coast next week (after July 5). If this happens, it is likely that this system will reach the Atlantic, but it can still cover the southeast coast.

It is also possible that an area of ​​low pressure will persist domestically in the southeast, which will prevent the development of any significant tropical phenomenon.

At the moment, there is nothing to worry about, weather forecasters say.

More severe rainfall is possible where rain or thunderstorms linger for several hours, which can lead to local flash flooding.
