weather associated with a trough of low pressure located over the Caribbean
Sea.  This system is forecast to move slowly north-northwestward across Cuba
and the Straits of Florida during the next day or so.  Some development of
this system is possible when it moves near the Florida peninsula or the
northwestern Bahamas on Friday or Saturday before upper-level winds become
less favorable early next week. Regardless of development, this system is
likely to produce locally heavy rainfall over portions of Cuba, southern
Florida, the Florida Keys, and the Bahamas during the next several days.

gusts

Forward Direction: north-northwestward

Potential for further development or weakening: there is a 20% (low) chance
of formation through the next 5 days

Potential Impact for Broward County:  Possible rainfall 2-3 inches
