The weather forecast has been adjusted, and it is predicted that the heaviest rainfall will occur in certain areas of South Florida on Monday. Overnight and into Monday, the rest of the Peninsula will begin to experience the effects of the approaching low-pressure system in the Sunshine State. In the evening and morning hours on Monday, the Panhandle can expect some rain showers, with the most intense precipitation remaining offshore but moving east-southeast.
By Monday morning, downpours may start moving along I-75 from North Florida towards Central Florida. By early afternoon, scattered thunderstorms could be seen in the southern half of Florida. However, South Florida is expected to experience rounds of showers in the morning, followed by heavier downpours and isolated intense storms between 11 AM and the afternoon. While widespread severe weather is not anticipated, some of these thunderstorms could bring damaging wind gusts of 58 mph or more, as the majority of the moisture will pass over South Florida. Additionally, there is a possibility of localized flooding in certain areas.
Overall, we anticipate rainfall amounts of up to 1 inch across north Florida through Central Florida. In certain isolated areas, particularly in Central Florida, rainfall could reach as high as 2.5 inches. In South Florida, rainfall amounts are expected to range between one and a half to 2.5 inches. However, there is a possibility of isolated areas receiving up to 4 inches of rainfall…
