The torrential rains are associated with a tropical disturbance moving Northward and away from South Florida. Regardless of development (there is only a small chance), heavy rainfall could cause flash flood over coastal areas of Northeastern Florida and Georgia through today. The Carolina’s by tomorrow.
Disturbance near Orlando, FL forecast to move North, remaining inland or near the coast. Regardless of development, heavy rainfall could cause flash flooding over coastal areas of NE Florida & Georgia today, & over portions of the Carolinas on Wednesday. pic.twitter.com/pRg3cUOkXZ

Showers and storms possible throughout the day and street flooding will be the biggest concern along Eastern areas. It will not be as widespread going into Wednesday.
High pressure builds from the Western Atlantic late week allowing a more typical pattern to kick in as disturbance pulls away. Therefore, we will have a passing overnight/morning shower and afternoon inland storms developing wherever the sea breezes meet. High temperatures through the weekend will be at about 90 degrees. Rain chances at 30%.
More rain and storms expected to develop later today causing street flooding. Disturbance lifts away and to the North, so the chances for rain will go down by Thursday. More typical pattern sets up for the weekend. @wsvn @7weather #flwx pic.twitter.com/Pk1OTsdiFd
