The National Hurricane Center is monitoring a tropical disturbance in the eastern Gulf of Mexico.

According to the NHC, there's a 30 percent chance over the next five days that this system develops into a subtropical or tropical cyclone.

Even if there's no development, this large area of thunderstorms will bring some much-needed rain to much of Florida this week.

If the system does develop into a named storm it will be called Alberto. Hurricane season doesn't officially start until June 1.
