This NOAA satellite image taken Sunday, October 09, 2011 at 10:45 AM EDT shows a large swath of clouds over the Plains as a quasi-stationary front extends from the Upper Great Lakes through the Plains. Daytime heating coupled with moisture from the Gulf of Mexico interacts with this system to fuel more light showers in northern Minnesota and more scattered showers with thunderstorms from parts of the Dakotas southward through eastern Texas. Today\\\'s rain raises flood concerns for areas that have already experienced high rainfall totals this weekend. Areas of the eastern Dakotas and parts of the Southern Plains remain under Flood Watches and Flood Warnings through the afternoon. Meanwhile, showers, periods of heavy rain, gusty winds, and thunderstorms continue to pound Florida and the Bahamas as easterly winds sweep across the state with considerable moisture and a disturbance becomes positioned midway between the east coast of Florida and the northeastern Bahamas. This system produce gale force winds near the east-central coast of Florida and over the Atlantic for several hundred miles. Some development is still possible with this system as it moves northwestward at about 10 mph across the central Florida Peninsula and into the Gulf of Mexico within the next day or so. This system has a 30 percent chance of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours. Various Flood, Wind, Gale, High Surf, and Rip Current Advisories, Watches, and Warnings are in effect for the Florida Peninsula through the afternoon. (AP PHOTO/WEATHER UNDERGROUND) AP
