Twin Tropical Storms Threaten Mexico From Atlantic and Pacific
Tropical storms have spun up on both sides of Mexico, with the most serious threat coming from flooding rains along the country's eastern coastline facing the Bay of Campeche, the US National Hurricane Center said.
Tropical Storm Barry has formed about 165 miles (266 kilometers) southeast of Tampico on Mexico's east coast, with maximum sustained winds of 40 miles an hour. Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Flossie has developed from a patch of thunder storms and wind off the country's Pacific coastline and is expected to strengthen into a hurricane as it moves northwest parallel to the shore.

More showers and storms for South Florida heading into July 4th weekend
On Monday, the final day of June, it will be mainly dry with only a few showers and isolated storms possible. The chance of rain is low due to drier air and Saharan dust that will also lead to hazy skies at times. Monday got off to a mild and muggy start with temperatures in the mid to upper 70s in Broward and Miami-Dade, the Florida Keys saw the low 80s. Highs will climb to 90 degrees in the afternoon under mostly sunny skies and it will feel like the mid to upper 90s when you factor in the humidity. There is a low risk of rip currents along the Atlantic beaches and the UV index is extreme for the day. There are no alerts or advisories for boaters along the Atlantic waters and Keys waters. Chance of showers and storms increases heading into holiday weekend. NEXT Weather The chance of rain will increase on Tuesday through the rest of the week as July begins with a wet and unsettled weather pattern. Beginning Tuesday, and over the next several days, there will be more showers and storms around due to moisture associated with an upper-level area of low pressure that will move in from the Bahamas. Late week, an area of low pressure could develop along a frontal boundary near northern Florida. The National Hurricane Center is giving this area a low potential of tropical cyclone development. Regardless of development, all the moisture associated with this system is likely going to bring the potential for widespread showers and storms across the state of Florida. Although the heaviest rain will likely impact central and northern Florida, South Florida will have the potential for more showers and storms starting Friday for the Fourth of July and heading into the holiday weekend. The CBS Miami Next Weather team will monitor this disturbance and continue to update the forecast as we receive more information.

A potential tropical system could dump heavy rain on Florida this week
Florida could get doused by rain this week, regardless of whether a tropical system develops near its coast. The National Hurricane Center is watching the northern half of the state for potential tropical development this week, but forecasters give it a low chance of happening — 20% over the next seven days. Still, they say a frontal boundary could slow and stall in the area, potentially forming an area of low pressure near north Florida or over the eastern Gulf. 'Some gradual tropical or subtropical development could occur thereafter as the low moves little,' the hurricane center said Monday morning. Global storm models show the potential for development, but a relatively low likelihood, hence the 20% figure from the NHC. 'It doesn't look like it could be much, but with a holiday coming up it could make for a few wet days for parts of Florida,' Jim Cantore of the Weather Channel posted on X. The rain could arrive by the middle of the week and hang out until the weekend, said the Miami office of the National Weather Service. 'While uncertainty remains, this may result in some threat of flooding for South Florida if persistent rounds of heavy rainfall occur over urban areas. Forecast specifics will likely become more clear as we move forward in time,' forecasters said Sunday. Over the weekend, the second tropical storm of the season — Barry — sprang up over the coast of Mexico. Like Andrea before it last week, it was a short-lived storm. The next name on the list is Chantal.
