Further south, an upper-level disturbance to the south of the Peninsula will continue to bring light to moderate rainfall with a few embedded thunderstorms (20-60% chance of rain).

Organized flash flooding is not expected; however, any locally heavy rounds of shower or thunderstorm activity could lead to some nuisance ponding of water or localized flash flooding for urban and low-lying areas of the South Florida metro.

Rainfall totals of 0.5” are forecast, with locally higher totals upwards of 2-3” possible.
