LAKE COUNTY, Fla. \u2014 A rare flooding event with a 1 in 1,000 chance occurred in Lake County and northern Brevard County on Sunday, with 15-19 inches of rain falling in just six hours.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

LATE PM WEATHER <\/p>\n

This deluge exceeded the rainfall from recent hurricanes in the Lake County area, leading to widespread flooding. Northern Brevard County also experienced significant flooding, with over a foot of rain since Sunday.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

LATE PM WEATHER <\/p>\n

The heavy rainfall has caused the St. Johns River to rise, with minor flooding either occurring now or forecasted to occur later this week. <\/p>\n

Due to the slow recession of the river, flooding may persist for several weeks.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

LATE PM WEATHER <\/p>\n

Fortunately, much drier weather is expected to arrive by the weekend and continue beyond, potentially alleviating the flooding situation.<\/p>\n
