A wet and rainy Florida could soon see even more precipitation in the coming days, according to the National Weather Service, which has warned the Gulf Coast will face a flood-generating system that could form into Tropical Storm Dexter.

TAMPA, Fla. — The National Hurricane Center and the 10 Tampa Bay weather team continue to monitor a system in the Gulf that is no longer a threat to the Tampa Bay area but will continue to bring heavy rain and the potential for flash flooding to parts of the northern Gulf Coast.

The National Weather Service in Mobile will also be closely watching the system and expects the risk for rip currents along the Alabama and northwest Florida coasts to increase to moderate by Wednesday and high by Thursday, which means swimming in the Gulf will be hazardous.
