Your weekend is here, Central Florida! Here’s a look at the news and what events are going on in the area.
A tropical wave continues to develop across the Bahamas and is expected to float north over the state of Florida through the weekend. This will provide a high opportunity for rain and storm development starting along the coast and continuing further inland.
Rainfall totals ranging between 1 inch to 2 inches for interior locations will be common for the weekend with local areas between 3 inches to 5 inches of rainfall along the coast. Pockets of over 8 inches of rain are also possible but will be localized.
Due to the significant amount of anticipated rainfall, flood watches are in effect for Brevard and Volusia counties through Sunday morning.
At the same time, high winds and dangerous coastal waterway conditions will remain through Saturday and Sunday. High surf advisories along our Central Florida coastline, along with small craft advisories, remain in place through this time frame. Rip current risks remain high.
Daytime temperatures for Saturday and Sunday remain in the lower and middle 80s amid high rain chances.
