The latest 7-day QPF shows a significant rain event may be brewing along the Gulf Coast and, to a lesser extent, the east coast of Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas. Computer models are suggesting that a low pressure center could sink down into the Gulf and grow under the influence of the unusually warm water there, possibly becoming a tropical storm and moving slowly through the area. If you are planning outdoor events or farming activities, you will want to keep an eye on the evolving conditions to see whether a tropical system does develop. If it does, heavy rain is expected to be the major problem, not winds.
