Florida Weather

On Monday, flash flooding impacted hundreds of thousands of residents in the Melbourne area. Meteorologist Jessie Schaper with the NWS office says additional river flooding is expected.

This year's El Niño likely contributed to the storm, and it's only growing stronger.

Florida's 2026 rainy season ended unevenly, leaving some areas drought-stricken despite heavy October downpours. Historic early November rainfall brought catastrophic flooding to parts of Central Florida, highlighting the state's sharp weather contrasts.

Some areas have already received 3 to 6 inches of rain, others over a foot, and another 1 to 3 inches could fall before conditions gradually improve Tuesday.

A developing storm system is bringing rounds of heavy rainfall to South Florida. Dangerous surf, rip currents and coastal flooding could be problematic along Atlantic beaches.

Historic king tides sent saltwater surging over seawalls and into neighborhoods, flooding major roads and bridges. Some of the water levels rivaled some recorded during past hurricanes.

Changes in leaves starts to occur when trees receive less sunlight. The lack of chlorophyll reveals yellow, orange and red pigments.

A weak cold front will lower rain chances and also bring slightly lower humidity values for much of Florida for part of this week.

Gradual development is possible this week, but it will likely take the whole week for anything to develop. Rain across Florida this week is due to a front and local effects.

October weather across Florida is usually warm, with lower precipitation chances. The tropics usually remains a concern through the month.

Florida finally has a meaningful opportunity to put a dent in its drought, but the same prolonged wet pattern that brings drought relief could also bring localized flooding and increasingly rough coastal conditions into next week.
