00:00Florida could face days of heavy rain from a slow-moving system offshore.
00:04Repeated downpours could build up over several days, raising the risk of flash flooding.
00:09The Fox Forecast Center expects unsettled weather as October ends, with heavy rain and gusty winds.
00:16Southeastern Florida could see from 3 to 5 inches of rain from the system.
00:21The forecast includes a Level 1 flash flood risk for Friday.
00:24That rises to a Level 2 flash flood risk for Saturday.
00:27The Bahamas could also see repeated rounds of showers and heavy rain.
00:31Florida is also expected to experience powerful wind gusts as the system develops offshore.
00:37But the biggest concern for now is rain that could linger rather than move away.
00:42A strong area of high pressure could trap the developing system offshore for several days.
00:47That would leave it over warm ocean water, where a broader weather system could develop.
00:52But dry air and changing winds could keep it from becoming an organized tropical system.
00:56Tropical development remains possible if thunderstorms gather near its center over warm water.
01:02The rain and flooding concerns do not depend on tropical development.
