Heavy rain, coastal floods expected for Florida this weekend

Several cycles of rain and coastal floods are expected for the east coast of Florida this weekend and Monday.

The coastal alerts of the floods are along the east coast of Florida to parts of coastal georgia for minor coastal floods, with 1 to 2 feet of possible flood during the high tide.

This comes from the offshore winds channeled both from the front blocked and a high pressure system in the northeast.

The director of the city of South Daytona and the Public Works Department verify the districts in the event of flooding problems on October 2, 2025, in South Daytona, Florida.

A flooded watch is in force for the Côte du Center-East de la Florida de Jupiter Island in Daytona Beach until Sunday morning for widespread rain up to 1 to 3 inches along the coast, with locally higher totals up to 5 to 6 inches possible.

Although it is the area that probably sees the highest threat of floods on Saturday throughout the weekend, an isolated flooding threat – level 1 of 4 – will remain on a large part of the east coast of Florida on Monday.

Certain showers and thunderstorms are also possible for other parts of the Gulf coast during this weekend, with possible floods for New Orleans, Louisiana and Mobile, in Alabama.

The persistent coastal floods of the forehead at point will also probably compose the expected rain this weekend for the Florida coast, exacerbating the threat of floods for coastal areas during high tides.

This forehead at stalks above the Florida peninsula was in a low chance of developing tropical disturbance, but high wind shear will prevent any subsequent development.

Whatever development, this disturbed time area will bring dispersed showers and thunderstorms for the Florida peninsula for the next few days because it slowly drifts northwest in the Gulf.

Meanwhile, a tropical wave emerging off the coast of Africa will have a moderate chance of becoming a tropical disturbance next week, with 50% of development in the next seven days.

Some shears near dry air and wind in front of the tropical wave – the ingredients that hinder tropical development – will prevent it from developing in a tropical system on weekends until next week. The conditions could become better for the tropical wave next week to develop the next tropical system of the season, but it is not guaranteed. If something is formed, the weather models currently suggest that it would follow a path similar to Gabrielle.

As it has not yet transformed into a tropical system and is still very far from the Atlantic, it is too early to talk about the planned track and the potential impacts, if necessary.

The Atlantic Hurricane season officially ends on November 30.
