The National Hurricane Center is tracking a “disturbance” that could intensify in the coming days. A tropical system and the heavy rains accompanying it could lead to flash flooding across Florida and other parts of the coastal Southeast this weekend.

Widespread rain and thunderstorms are expected to continue for Northeast Florida and the peninsula into early next week.

An unsettled weather pattern will heighten the risk of flooding across Central Florida, especially during peak Fourth of July holiday travel and events. Here's a look at what to expect from the weather ahead of the holiday weekend.
