00:00 South Florida split Fort Lauderdale's
00:01 had over 109 inches of rain so far.
00:04 This year record wettest year
00:05 already locked in,
00:06 even if we didn't see another drop.
00:08 Now we will see many drops over the
00:10 next four days in Fort Lauderdale,
00:12 but there were 40 inches above average.
00:14 Then he go just what?
00:16 Maybe 100 and 130 miles West and in
00:18 Naples and look at this were not even
00:20 up to two feet of rain for the whole
00:23 year and that is less than half of average.
00:25 We're running about 25 inches
00:27 drier than normal there in Naples.
00:29 An incredible contrast and Tampa's been dry.
00:31 We've been really wet in Miami,
00:33 so overall temperatures here.
00:34 We're at 74 in Miami.
00:35 We have moisture.
00:36 It's warm and humid.
00:37 You head north though.
00:39 Raleigh only 43 where we've been
00:40 on the cool side and there have
00:42 been some areas in the Raleigh
00:44 Metro with a little bit of tornado
00:46 damage after an EF1 tornado last Sunday.
00:48 The recovery continues with
00:49 dry weather in those areas.
00:51 Tennessee,
00:51 Southern Kentucky and into parts
00:53 of North Carolina also had a few
00:55 tornadoes into parts of Mississippi.
00:56 But as we look at the southeast
00:58 Florida radar, there's just some.
01:00 Shower activity now not a whole
01:02 lot to write home about now,
01:03 but we are dealing with rain in Fort Lauderdale,
01:06 but things will escalate through Friday.
01:08 Onshore winds,
01:08 heavier rain into southeast Florida.
01:10 We're going to be dealing with some
01:12 localized coastal flooding during the
01:14 times of high tide here with the new
01:16 moon and that leads to exaggerated
01:18 tidal impacts. But overall,
01:19 this swarm of showers for the East
01:21 side and especially the South side
01:22 of Florida will continue over the
01:24 next few days and then a disturbance
01:26 that's moving through Texas that
01:28 Kevin's been talking about will be
01:30 kind of energizing the rain into
01:32 Florida later this week into the weekend.
01:34 So tomorrow not many major weather
01:36 issues were around 52 for a cool high
01:39 in Raleigh sunshine over Nashville 63 there,
01:41 but rain in Miami.
01:42 That's the wet spot Friday.
01:44 Still rain in South Florida.
01:46 There's our storm system crossing
01:47 the Gulf that will really activate.
01:49 The rain will have locally intense rainfall,
01:51 even a flash flood risk with some
01:54 tough travel in the far south.
01:56 Eastern part of the nation.
01:57 We're looking at four to eight inches
01:59 of rain in southeast Florida along
02:01 I-95 over the five day stretch
02:03 through Sunday with two to four
02:05 inches farther West and overall,
02:06 there could also be as this system
02:09 crosses the Gulf and into Florida.
02:10 Isolated tornadoes out there or
02:12 at least spotty severe weather.
02:13 And some of these coastal concerns
02:15 will spread up the coast into the
02:17 Carolinas with an onshore wind.
02:19 Kevin, it's a several day event.
02:21 Jeff, you got it.
