A stretch of the Gulf Coast from Florida to the central Texas coast could see heavy rain this weekend due to a tropical disturbance in the Gulf.

Temperatures will be hot, with highs near 90 along the coast and into the low to mid-90s inland. Heat index values will climb to around 105-110 on Thursday.

Temperatures could feel as high as 115F in some places bringing a very real fear of heat related deaths and major disruption to peoples' lives, especially those with out cooling systems

The trough of low pressure located off the coast of Florida is causing disorganized showers and thunderstorms. The disturbance is forecast to move into the north-central Gulf, where environmental conditions could allow for slow development. The NHC expects the system to move inland by the weekend, ending any chances of development.

The highest rain and storm chances will be in the northern interior parts of Central Florida, including the metro Orlando area, according to NWS Melbourne.

A tropical system with a low chance of formation is set to cross Florida, dumping rain across the state — again. The National Hurricane Center is tracking a disturbance near the southeast coast with a 10% chance of strengthening into a tropical depression in the next two to seven days, as of Wednesday afternoon.

As the ridge of high pressure and dry air fully take hold on Saturday, rain chances plummet to 20%. Without widespread clouds and rain to cool things off in the afternoon, temperatures will rise into the low to mid-90s, with heat indices into the triple digits.

A few showers will be possible on Friday as the breeze builds out of the southeast, but the chance of rain is low due to drier air and Saharan dust moving in. It will be hazy at times due to the dust. Those with respiratory conditions are urged to limit their time outside as the air quality is moderate for most of South Florida.
