Interesting Miami Forecast Discussion

I found this while checking out the forecasts for this morning..they are talking about an upper low circulation just off the Central E Florida coast:

STILL LOOKS LIKE VERY WET PATTERN SETTING UP OVER SOUTH FLORIDA NEXT FEW DAYS. AS HAS BEEN THE CASE THE PAST FEW DAYS...ETA...MESO-ETA AND NGM ARE A BIT MORE IN AGREEMENT WITH AVN NOT BEING QUITE AS HIGH ON QPF AMOUNTS THOUGH POPS FROM MAV STILL IN
LIKELY CATEGORY. CURRENT PLAN IS TO STICK WITH ETA/MESO/NGM WHICH INDICATE TROPICAL WAVE/INVERTED TROUGH MOVING SLOWLY NORTHWEST WHILE UPPER LOW CONTINUES TO SLOWLY RETROGRADE WEST. AVN STILL TRYING TO DEVELOP LOW ALONG TROUGH AXIS AND MOVE TO THE NORTHEAST. NOT CONSIDERING A WATCH AT THIS TIME...ESPECIALLY GIVEN ANTECEDENT CONDITIONS STILL FAIRLY DRY...BUT MAY NEED TO CONSIDER LATER.

Ok...are they talking about a FLOOD WATCH? Or a tropical storm watch? I'm thinking that they may be talking about a flood watch given that they were talking about the amount of rain (1-2") but I may be mistaken. Anyone?
