A developing large low-pressure system will trigger a windy, rainy period for the Sunshine State.

The remnants of a stationary front across the Florida Straits and the Bahamas has allowed unsettled weather to linger just south of the state of Florida.  Upper-level conditions are causing the development of a broad low-pressure storm system, which is bringing gusty winds and periods of heavy rain to the central and southern peninsula of Florida.

High pressure to the north will stay in place, working in tandem with the forming southern low to continue generating additional easterly winds which may gust to over 30 mph across the local viewing area.

Some forecast indications show the area of low pressure developing over the Bahamas to generally westward around the high-pressure system.  The low may combine with the upper-level system to create a disorganized low-pressure system that may gain "sub-tropical" classification.

There are no clear-cut signs currently that the system will be extremely strong, but widespread rain is possible in Florida early next week.  Some of the moisture will likely heighten local rain chances.  As the next few days pass, the future pattern and forecast development of the system will become clearer.
