Flooding Risk for Parts of Florida This Week




A general 1 to 2 inches of rain will fall with a number of locations picking up between 2 and 4 inches. A few spots could pick up an additional half a foot of rain Monday midday through Wednesday.
The bulk of the rain will take aim over the peninsula, especially over the central counties, and in the northeastern part of the state. Some metro areas that are likely to pick up the most rain from the wet weather pattern include Tampa, Orlando, Melbourne and Jacksonville.
This will be on top of the 1 to 6 inches of rain that fell on the area since Sunday morning.
Hernando County, Fla., was one of several counties hit with flooding Sunday night into Monday morning. According to emergency management, Sparkman Lake overflowed and street flooding occurred near Brooksville.
For people heading to Disney World, Universal Studios, Sea World and Bush Gardens, bring raingear or consider indoor activities at these parks through Wednesday.
