Florida's Attorney General James Uthmeier jumped in to amplify the misinformation - citing a newly passed Florida law banning loosely defined "weather modification" practices that climatologists say have nothing to do with increasingly severe weather events.

This weekend, a ridge of high pressure will park itself right over the Florida Peninsula, bringing in unusually dry air from the southeast.

Tampa Bay airports warned Monday by Florida’s chief law enforcement officer to comply with a state law passed this year that bans weather modification are still untangling the new set of rules, officials said.

Depression or no depression, the system could bring several inches of rain to the north-central Gulf Coast, including Alabama, through Friday. The National Weather Service in Mobile thinks that the most rain with this system will likely fall closer to the coast, with scattered storms possible.

The system’s slow passage over Florida has meant days of rain throughout the state, leading to street flooding in South Florida. However, the Miami office of the National Weather Service expects the rain to slow down, alleviating any concerns about deep flooding.

A tropical trough moving across the Florida Peninsula will pull moisture across the state, leading to significant rainfall in southeast Florida.

A slightly drier day is on the way for Central Florida. A 60% chance of rain is anticipated, mainly for this afternoon. A few showers could sneak onshore in Brevard and Volusia county around 9am-12pm,

A weather system moving across Florida wasn’t even a tropical something but it has the potential to develop into a tropical depression as it moves across the Gulf later in the week.

The threat of significant flooding across South Florida has passed for now, as rainfall totals on Monday came in within forecasted expectations.

Invest 93L dropped several inches of rain – nearly 9" in some spots – as it crossed Florida this week, before eventually pushing out into the Gulf.

Unlike Monday, which was a deluge for South Florida, today’s tropical-system-related rain is expected to be more concentrated in the center of the state. The Miami office of the National Weather Service predicts South Florida could see around 1 inch of rain on Tuesday and Wednesday, not enough for any severe flooding.
