rain

Stream flow and soil moisture data support widespread improvements to drought during the last seven days in Florida.

Rainfall across Central Florida ranged between 1 and 3 inches, but some very isolated spots reached close to 4 inches.

Rainfall totals will range between 2 and 4 inches. However, there could be some isolated areas that could accumulate up to 7 inches.

These rains could dent the drought. We will continue to bring you updates about the drought situation in Florida.

The deluge could be beneficial for the drought, but it can bring more problems because the ground is so dry in Florida now.

Temperatures will feel between 105° and 110° F across much of Florida.

The drought has worsened to a moderate drought stretching from the Space Coast to the Southwest Coast through Sarasota and Lake Okeechobee.

The Climate Prediction Center’s updated weather outlook indicates a slightly increased confidence of a strong El Niño event by this winter.
