A few locations may receive a foot and a half of rainfall, which could fuel flooding as the repeated downpours fall Wednesday into Friday.
Drenching and drought-busting rains are about to deluge much of the Florida Peninsula, with widespread totals of 10 to 15 inches likely to fall by late week, amid seemingly relentless showers and thunderstorms. A few locations may close in on a foot and a half of rainfall, which could fuel flooding as the repeated downpours fall Wednesday into Friday.
Much of the area that is expected to receive torrential rains has been facing severe drought as of late, with parched lawns and an increased fire danger. The rainfall will reduce or eliminate a large chunk of that by Saturday.The same system may then focus a strip of intense rainfall toward the Florida Peninsula or southern Alabama around Mobile by the weekend or early next week, but confidence in that outcome remains quite low.
But much of that rain fell at the beginning of the year. It’s been comparatively dry during the past month. Fort Myers is just under 3 inches behind for the past month, and Naples is about 3.5 inches behind.This looks to be the first big rain event of the summertime wet season, but it could be a little more than many have bargained for.
