Stalled front in Florida could lead to tropical system formation

FOX Weather is closely monitoring the potential for a tropical system to develop off the coast of Florida this week. A front that has parked itself in the Sunshine State is causing days of rain. Computer models indicate a tropical or subtropical cyclone could develop along that front later this week. It’s still too early for specifics. Stay with Hurricane HQ for the latest.
