Central Florida -- It was a wet start to the work week, and the scattered showers continued across parts of Central Florida Monday evening.

  • More rain, storm chances Tuesday
  • Soggy pattern unfolding
  • Rainy week ahead

A few showers will remain possible overnight, but many areas will stay dry. Overnight lows will be in the low 70s.

The usual low lying areas in Brevard County, like the Babcock Street corridor, saw its share of flooding Monday.

Drivers navigated their way through the ponding on the roadways.

"Especially these parking lots too, they really have flooded," said Sean Mason, who works nearby.

The Space Coast has a rain deficit of more than three inches since the beginning of the year, and retention ponds are so low, the water has a place to go.

Case in point, this creek leading into the Eau Gallie River, where sandbars are exposed due to the lack of rain.

Officials ask residents not to put their yard debris near storm drains, as they may clog them up and create flooding issues.

And today due to the steady rainfall, the Florida Forest Service says the fire danger is low, meaning no risk of brush fires.

FORECAST

Tuesday will also feature rain and storm chances. Our disturbance in the Gulf will again throw moisture across the region. Rain chances do look lower than Monday, so a total washout is not expected. Highs for Tuesday will be in the mid-80s.

The rain chances continue heading into Wednesday and Thursday. The storm system will continue to pump deep moisture into the area, keeping rain chances in place. Highs both days will be in the mid-80s.

The system will move away by late week, but the moisture will remain in place. Thursday and Friday will likely feature more sunshine, but PM showers and storms will be likely both days. Highs to close the work week will hold in the low to mid-80s.

The weekend also looks a bit unsettled. Morning sunshine will lead to afternoon showers and storms both days. Highs for Saturday and Sunday will be in the low to mid 80s.

The PM shower and storm chance will likely persist heading into early next week.

A Small Craft Caution will continue for Tuesday, with seas 3-5 feet and a south-southeasterly wind. Surfers will have poor conditions, with an east-southeasterly swell mix. The rip current threat will remain moderate for Tuesday.​

Tropical Update

The storm system in the Gulf could develop into a subtropical or tropical depression or storm. The complex has not organized and has only a low chance of development.

Regardless of development, rain chances will remain high across Florida over the next several days.
