Repeated rounds of stormy weather loitering off the Southeast coast could do more than just dampen fireworks celebrations in Florida this weekend – there’s a good chance it becomes hurricane season’s next named storm.

Forecasters are watching an area around Florida's Gulf and Atlantic coasts for tropical development during the July 4 weekend.

Stray passing showers and occasional rumbles of thunder are possible at times through the morning. 20% rain chances give way to 30% storm chances this afternoon as daytime heating coupled with additional passing cells will continue. Most of this activity will struggle to make it west of I-95 until later this afternoon.
