A large trough of low pressure stalls over the Gulf Friday, May 9th, through Sunday, May 11th, and unloads heavy rain across the Gulf Coast and Southeastern U.S. Bad timing for anyone going on a beach vacation to Destin, Panama City, and Jacksonville.
As we head into the end of the week and into the weekend, as this large upper low over the Lower Mississippi Valley lingers, heavy rainfall could measure up to 3-6" with isolated totals even higher than that. The Weather Prediction Center's models are highlighting the heaviest along the northern Gulf Beaches of Florida, especially near Panama City and Tallahassee.
There is still some uncertainty on the end of week flooding threat, because it is pending what happens over the next 24-48 hours, but repeated storms training along the same regions will likely lead to flooding into the weekend.
We're forecasting cooler temps in Northern Florida because of rain and cloud cover.
