CATS AND DOGS. IF YOU WIN THE LOTTERY, THANKFULLY, YOU CAN BUY MILLIONS OF UMBRELLAS. BUT WE DO HAVE TONS OF SHOWERS HERE IN CENTRAL FLORIDA. IN FACT, THIS JUST DROPPED FROM THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER. IT’S A 5% CHANCE OF THE ISSUANCE OF A WATCH ACROSS SOME OF OUR NORTHERNMOST COUNTIES, INCLUDING OCALA, MARION COUNTY. EXCUSE ME. ALSO, FLAGLER, VOLUSIA COUNTY, JUST BECAUSE THIS IS WHERE WE HAVE OUR HIGHEST CONCENTRATION OF SHOWERS AND STORMS, ALL COURTESY OF THIS COLD FRONT HERE REALLY TAKING ITS TIME TO WORK ACROSS OUR SUNSHINE STATE. IT’S EVENTUALLY GOING TO STALL OUT, BUT AHEAD OF THAT FRONT, YOU SEE THE MESS THAT DOES EXIST, STRETCHING FROM JACKSONVILLE ALL THE WAY DOWN TO VOLUSIA COUNTY, IN WHICH WE’RE WATCHING FOR THOSE STRONGER STORMS CURRENTLY. NOW, TODAY, TOMORROW AND TUESDAY, THE RAIN THREAT IS ON. WE’RE WATCHING OUT FOR THAT CHANCE FOR POTENTIAL FLOODING, ESPECIALLY IN THE AFTERNOONS AND ACROSS THE EARLY EVENING WHEN MOST OF THE ACTIVITY IS TAKING PLACE. WE’RE TAKING YOU OUT TO VOLUSIA COUNTY RIGHT NOW WHERE WE ARE WATCHING A STRONGER STORM. THIS IS NEW SMYRNA BEACH. THE SHOWERS ARE COMING DOWN. WE DO HAVE SOME OFFICERS ON THE SHORELINE RIGHT NOW, HOPEFULLY GETTING PEOPLE INDOORS BECAUSE THE RAIN SHOWERS, THAT’S WHAT CONTINUES TO PILE UP. WE GOT THAT EAST COAST SEA BREEZE AS WELL. ADDING TO INSULT, ADDING INJURY TO INSULT. AND THAT’S WHAT’S GOING TO CAUSE FOR THESE STORMS TO PULSE UP THAT EAST COAST SEA BREEZE MEETING UP WITH OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES IN WHICH TEMPERATURES HAVE DROPPED DOWN TO THE MIDDLE OF THE 80S, STILL FEELS A LITTLE BIT WARM, THOUGH, COURTESY OF THE MOISTURE IN THE AIR. SO HERE’S THAT STRONG STORM THAT WE HAVE IN VOLUSIA COUNTY GOING TO BE WATCHING THIS FOR THE NEXT 15 MINUTES. BUT THIS IS WHERE WE HAD A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM. AND NOW WE DO HAVE A FLOOD ADVISORY ACROSS PARTS OF FLAGLER COUNTY. AS YOU MOVE WEST INTO SHELL BLUFF, CRESCENT CITY AS WELL, PALM COAST, YOU’RE STILL UNDER THAT STRONG STORM. AND THIS IS WHERE WE SHOWED SIGNS OF EARLIER ROTATION TO START OFF THE SHOW. RIGHT NOW, JUST SOME STRONG STRAIGHT LINE WINDS. THESE ARE GUSTING UPWARDS OF 20MPH AT TIMES. AND WE HAVE DEFINITELY ACCUMULATED RAIN IN THESE AREAS OUT TOWARDS SHELL BLUFF. WE’VE SEEN ABOUT FOUR INCHES OF RAIN STACK UP. SO THE WESTERN QUADRANT OF PUTNAM COUNTY IS WHERE WE HAVE OUR STRONGEST SHOWERS. BUT THIS SEA BREEZE MOVING INLAND ACROSS MEADOW WOODS NOW INTO THE TOURIST DISTRICT. THIS IS WHAT IT SPAWNED. YOU SEE THE STRONGER SHOWERS BEGINNING TO PILE UP OUT TOWARDS MEADOW WOODS. FLOOD ADVISORY FOR LAKE AND VOLUSIA COUNTY. THIS IS GOING TO BE ACTIVE ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE WORKWEEK, AS WE DO HAVE THAT RELENTLESS RAIN THAT’S NOT GOING TO LEAVE US ANYTIME SOON. AND THEN FURTHER UP TOWARDS THE NORTH, THIS IS ANOTHER STRONG STORM THAT WE HAVE WORKING ACROSS I-75 IN MARION COUNTY. SO FOR THE REST OF THE EVENING, WE’RE REALLY JUST WATCHING THE RAIN SHOWERS ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE MIDNIGHT HOUR. AS WE TAKE YOU THROUGH FUTURE CAST. STILL LOTS OF RAIN. STILL AT 8:00, PUSHING SOUTH INTO DELAND SANFORD AREA. THIS IS REALLY TAKING ITS TIME TO LEAVE OUR NECK OF THE WOODS, BUT BY MIDNIGHT MOST OF US ARE RAIN FREE AND WE’LL ACTUALLY OPEN THE DOOR FOR JUST A LITTLE BIT OF SUNSHINE. PEERING THROUGH YOUR WINDOW TOMORROW MORNING. OUT IN THE TROPICS, THINGS ARE FAIRLY QUIET, BUT THEY’RE NOT GOING TO STAY THAT WAY FOREVER. ONE AREA OF INTEREST THAT WE’LL BE WATCHING TOWARDS THE MIDDLE OF THE MONTH IS ACROSS THE GULF AND THE CARIBBEAN, BUT ALSO INTO THE CENTER OF THE ATLANTIC. THAT’S WHERE WE HAVE THAT 40% CHANCE FOR DEVELOPMENT COMING UP. SO WE’LL KEEP OUR EYES ON THOSE POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS. BUT WE’RE KEEPING OUR EYES ON THIS WEEK. HEAVY RAINFALL. WE COULD STACK UP ANOTHER 3 TO 5IN AS THIS STATIONARY BOUNDARY JUST HOVERS ACROSS THE I-4 CORRIDOR, KEEPING A SYSTEM OF LOW PRESSURE AROUND. AND THOSE STORMS WILL STAY CONSISTENT, TOO. SO YOUR SEVEN DAY FORECAST SHAPES UP LIKE THIS. COOLER? YES. WETTER. ALSO. YES 89 DEGREES. TO START OFF YOUR WORKWEEK TOMORROW WILL HOVER AROUND THE UPPER 80S. IN FACT, WE’RE GETTING SLIGHTLY COOLER AS WE ENTER YOUR NEXT WEEKEND WITH H
