Florida State

Mountain View, CA

Heavy rainfall has been the norm this week across much of the state this week. The latter part of the week comes with higher than normal chances, especially over North Florida and the Panhandle where the stationary front will be barely moving on Friday. Its main movement will be from west to east dragging all the instability over the same regions. We do not expect it to clear from northern Florida until the weekend when the next cold front pushes it away from the area and drier air filters in.

More heavy rains expected in Florida, with increased flood risk
