<\/p>\nTropical moisture to soak Central Florida this week: Flooding, widespread rain<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIN THE SUMMERTIME, I DON\u2019T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING. WE JUST GET ENOUGH RAIN. AND WE\u2019RE GEARING UP FOR MORE RAIN COMING OUR WAY. RIGHT GUYS? A LOT OF RAIN, A LOT OF RAIN. YOU KNOW, THEY ALWAYS SAY IT\u2019S LIKE, YOU KNOW, FEAST OR FAMINE, RIGHT? JUST YOU WAIT BECAUSE, WELL, WE\u2019VE BEEN FOR MONTHS DISCUSSING HOW DRY WE ARE. THE PATTERN IS SHIFTING. THIS IS JUST WHAT THE DOCTOR ORDERED. OKAY. BUT I\u2019M TELLING YOU, IT\u2019S GOING TO BE IMPACTFUL IN THAT THERE\u2019S A LOT OF RAIN COMING. SO IMPACT WEATHER. THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY, EVEN MONDAY. OKAY. AND BASICALLY IT\u2019S NOT, IT\u2019S NOT JUST YOUR RUN OF THE MILL. TYPICAL AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND STORMS. WE\u2019RE WATCHING BROAD LOWERING PRESSURES IN THE GULF. THIS IS NOT GOING TO BECOME A TROPICAL STORM OR A HURRICANE, BUT ESSENTIALLY WE\u2019VE GOT TWO THINGS PLAYING OUT HERE. THE PRESSURES ARE LOWERING, FUNNELING UP MOISTURE. AND THEN THERE\u2019S A COLD FRONT FROM THE NORTH TRAVELING DOWN AND JUST TRAPPING THIS FUNNEL RIGHT OVER TOP OF US. SO WE END UP WITH THIS WIND FLOW JUST PUMPING MOISTURE AND MOISTURE AND MOISTURE. SO WE\u2019RE LOOKING AT A SEVERAL DAY RAIN EVENT WITH THE BIG CONCERN OF FLOODING AROUND CENTRAL FLORIDA. SO YOU\u2019LL SEE ON THE SEVEN DAY FORECAST, WE DON\u2019T DO THIS VERY OFTEN WHERE WE\u2019VE GOT DAYS OF IMPACT WEATHER. BUT LOOK AT THAT RAIN COVERAGE 70 TO 80%. YEAH, WE\u2019RE IN A SUMMER PATTERN WITH TODAY AND TOMORROW AT A 5,060%. BUT THERE\u2019S THAT ADDED INCREASE. AND AT THE MOMENT, IT DOESN\u2019T LOOK LIKE IT\u2019S GOING TO BE A COMPLETE WASHOUT DAYS. IT JUST MEANS THAT WHEN WE GET INTO THE RAINS, THERE\u2019S GOING TO BE A LOT. SO A COUPLE OF THINGS I WANT YOU TO KNOW THIS MORNING. THE MODELS CONTINUE TO BACK OFF ON ANY EVEN WHISPER OF TROPICAL ACTUAL DEVELOPMENT. IT\u2019S JUST GOING TO BE RAIN AND A LOT OF IT. SO DEFINITELY HAVE TO KEEP TABS. AND TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA, THIS IS THE FORECAST. THIS IS NOT A MODEL. THIS IS THE FORECAST RAIN OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS TIME, 3 TO 5IN WIDESPREAD. SO THAT IS EXCELLENT NEWS. ALTHOUGH THERE COULD BE SOME FLOODING LOCALIZED THAT WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH. BUT WE\u2019LL HELP YOU NAVIGATE. IN THE MEANTIME, HERE\u2019S TODAY LUNCHTIME. LOOKING GOOD. POPPING UP THE SHOWERS, EVEN A FEW THUNDERSHOWERS. 3:00 AND YOU NOTICE BASICALLY ORLANDO OFF TO THE WEST IS GOING TO BE THE AREA THAT SEES THOSE RAINS TODAY. I ALSO NOTICE A SEABREEZE COLLISION LATE ABOUT 8:39 P.M. ALONG I-75. IF YOU LIVE OUT THERE, IT\u2019S GOING TO BE KIND OF BEDTIME OR PAST YOUR BEDTIME. THUNDERSTORMS THAT WILL CONTINUE THROUGH 11:00. IT LOOKS LIKE THEN INTO TOMORROW MORNING NOTICE 5:00 FUTURECAST. STILL WITH THAT RAIN AROUND, QUIETING LATE MORNING TOMORROW. BUT BY ABOUT LUNCHTIME, DEVELOPING THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE. AND THEN WE GET INTO A WIDER COVERAGE OF RAIN. THREE, FOUR, 5:00 KIND OF MORE CENTERED INTO THE METRO. SO RAIN CHANCES ARE GOING UP PORT CANAVERAL LOOKING QUIET THIS MORNING, 80 DEGREES THERE. IT\u2019S MID 70S IN THE METRO AND INTO OUR NORTHERN AREAS. AND WE\u2019RE WATCHING SOME RAINS HERE IN COASTAL VOLUSIA COUNTY. BUT FOR NOW, THAT\u2019S ALL WE\u2019VE GOT. HEADING TO THE BEACH TODAY. HIGH RISK OF RIP CURRENTS. SURF RUNNING 2 TO 3FT, LOTS OF MOISTURE. BUT WE\u2019RE JUST GOING TO BE ADDING TO IT THESE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. SO 50% COVERAGE OF RAIN FOR US TODAY. TOMORROW IS 60% COVERAGE. AND THEN WE GET INTO THAT IMPACT WEATHER FOR LATE THIS WEEK INTO\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
