FLORIDA – A healthy and widespread round of rain is impacting much of the Southeast on Saturday, with radar confirming steady rainfall across Florida and neighboring Gulf Coast states as a broad storm system moves through the region.

This system is delivering beneficial moisture to many areas but is also producing embedded thunderstorms in spots.
Gulf Coast Storms May Produce Hail in Isolated Areas
