Area of clouds and rain in the Northwestern Bahamas is worth watching not for development, but for the heavy rains that could spread into Florida Tuesday into Wednesday. Right now, it is moving West-Northwest at around 15 mph and producing a small area of disorganized shower and thunderstorm activity.
Showers & storms over the NW Bahamas remain disorganized. Conditions are marginally favorable for development as it moves W/NW or Nw at 15 mph. Still has low chance to form before it interacts with a front. @wsvn @7weather #flwx pic.twitter.com/DzBkzGArhN

Computer models are showing the deep moisture getting trapped over Florida due to an approaching cold front that will move into the Southeast United States. Eventually it will lift that moisture to the Northeast and away.
Regardless of development, deep moisture will get trapped over #Florida leaving a good chance of seeing periods of heavy rain from Tuesday-Wednesday. Front eventually carries it away. @wsvn @7weather #flwx pic.twitter.com/cFc4UFpOpQ

Areas that are highly unorganized could fall apart quickly. If the moisture manages to hold, tropical downpours possible on Tuesday. A few strong storms likely producing frequent lightning and gusty winds.
If the moisture holds with a disturbance moving our way, we could see periods of heavy rain throughout the day on Tuesday along gusty storms. @wsvn @7weather #flwx pic.twitter.com/aIVsLoLjHT

We are still leaving a high rain chance for Wednesday, as some moisture could linger over Florida. Chances should go down late week and as return to a more typical Summertime pattern.
Deep moisture could hang around through midweek. Still a good rain chance in the forecast. @wsvn @7weather #flwx pic.twitter.com/01uIaQBMXK
