Two earlier severe thunderstorm warnings issued for western Miami-Dade had expired.
"A weak disturbance in the Gulf of Mexico combined with an upper level low will keep things unsettled over the next few days," the NWS said.
National Hurricane Center forecasters have given the disturbance a 20% chance of formation over the next week, but regardless of formation, heavy rain, rough surf and wind will hinder the Sunshine State.
The disturbance will edge closer to Florida on Thursday and Friday and this will push rain chances to 80% which will lead to some flooding expected each afternoon.
The low will likely push across the Sunshine State this weekend and re-emerge over the Atlantic waters early next week.
