Florida's Attorney General James Uthmeier jumped in to amplify the misinformation - citing a newly passed Florida law banning loosely defined "weather modification" practices that climatologists say have nothing to do with increasingly severe weather events.

Tampa Bay airports warned Monday by Florida’s chief law enforcement officer to comply with a state law passed this year that bans weather modification are still untangling the new set of rules, officials said.

A stretch of dangerously hot weather continues across South Florida this weekend, with heat index values expected to soar into the triple digits once again.

The system’s slow passage over Florida has meant days of rain throughout the state, leading to street flooding in South Florida. However, the Miami office of the National Weather Service expects the rain to slow down, alleviating any concerns about deep flooding.

The threat of significant flooding across South Florida has passed for now, as rainfall totals on Monday came in within forecasted expectations.

A weather system moving across Florida wasn’t even a tropical something but it has the potential to develop into a tropical depression as it moves across the Gulf later in the week.

Some changes arrive to the forecast on Monday. Higher moisture will start to work back into North Florida and South Georgia. As high pressure slides to the west, tropical moisture flows back into the area from the northeast. This will make the hot afternoon in the upper 90s feel oppressive near 110, probably the worst day in the forecast.

A tropical trough moving across the Florida Peninsula will pull moisture across the state, leading to significant rainfall in southeast Florida.

Depression or no depression, the system could bring several inches of rain to the north-central Gulf Coast, including Alabama, through Friday. The National Weather Service in Mobile thinks that the most rain with this system will likely fall closer to the coast, with scattered storms possible.

Unlike Monday, which was a deluge for South Florida, today’s tropical-system-related rain is expected to be more concentrated in the center of the state. The Miami office of the National Weather Service predicts South Florida could see around 1 inch of rain on Tuesday and Wednesday, not enough for any severe flooding.

A slightly drier day is on the way for Central Florida. A 60% chance of rain is anticipated, mainly for this afternoon. A few showers could sneak onshore in Brevard and Volusia county around 9am-12pm,
