Fortunately the area is dead flat, there
will not be "flash floods". On the flip
the flatness means DRAINAGE is very poor
so large areas turn into lakes likely to
persist for weeks.
A stationary front and an offshore low have
combined to deliver squall lines of tropical
strength rain to central Florida coast
for a good two weeks now. The area roughly
between Palm Beach and the Space Center
gets wave after wave after wave of very
heavy rains - in the one to three inch
per hour range.
This same area got blasted a year ago by
an outer band of Hurricane Milton - with
a mass tornado outbreak and in some places
12 inches of rain inside a half hour.
Fortunately the area is dead flat, there
will not be "flash floods". On the flip
the flatness means DRAINAGE is very poor

The low pressure IS moving north now, and
destined to be a "nor'easter" for New England.
However the moisture stream lingers far far
to the south.
According to some this sort of rain is not
unprecedented ... but the last time seen
was in the mid 1960s.

And I'm not talking about AOC.
Hopefully it turns west.

I think you're safe. It's getting a little late
in the season for major development so close to
the coast. The first big low should be near
New England already, this second one in maybe
four or five days. They'll both seed early
nor'easters but shouldn't be TOO evil.
But Florida ... news story today about an 8 inch plus
rain in under half an hour in Jupiter FL ... everything
just drowned. Forget flushing ...

Yea.
Things are looking a little better.
BTW, mistype, I meant turns East, not West.
