Widespread and steady rain will lead to rainfall totals between 1” and 3” which is why we are under a level one, marginal risk, for flooding. Additionally, the storm prediction center has increased the chance for severe weather to a level one, marginal risk, in South Florida. There is a chance for strong to damaging wind to be embedded as the rain moves through. 

Rain chances linger into the overnight hours tonight and into the early hours of Monday morning. Lows fall into the low 60s and we will dry out as the day continues on Monday.
