Rainfall Expected to Soak South Florida Following Moderate Drought Conditions
Rainfall Needed to Ease Drought Conditions
Needed rainfall is expected to blanket South Florida and the Keys on Monday as a vigorous area of low pressure crosses the peninsula. This system will bring the best chance for widespread rainfall that the area has seen all month. In fact, as moderate drought conditions persist and rainfall deficits for 2025 continue to grow at 2 to 4 inches, the rainfall is desperately needed.
Rainfall Forecast
Rain chances will slowly increase after daybreak on Monday, with a few showers possible during the morning drive. The bulk of the rainfall will come through the late-morning and early afternoon, with conditions beginning to ease towards the early evening hours. While the mode of the weather will be cloudy with passing showers, a few thunderstorms are possible as well.
Severe Storms Possible
This is a minimal chance for an isolated severe storm to pop up as the worst of the weather moves through early afternoon Monday. The current rainfall forecast pins the NBC6 viewing area with 1-3” through Tuesday. However, any location that experiences concentrated tropical downpours may see up to 4 inches of rain. Concentrated rainfall can cause minor flooding, especially in urban areas.
Rainfall Outlook
Rain chances will continue into Tuesday before a pleasant, near-normal temperature trend settles for the balance of the work week.
