| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tallahassee FL Issued by National Weather Service Jacksonville FL 400pm EDT Monday Oct 5 2026 .SHORT TERM... (This Evening through Tuesday night) Issued at 331pm EDT Monday Oct 5 2026 Additional rain is moving through the region this evening, after which, the flooding rain threat should decrease. A Flood Watch remains in effect for most of the area through this evening for the possibility of additional rainfall totals of 2 to 4 inches and localized amounts up to 6 inches, especially along the coast of the Florida Panhandle and Big Bend. By Tuesday, the focus for rain is expected to shift into the Southeast FL Big Bend. Long Term (Wednesday through next Sunday) Issued at 331pm EDT Monday Oct 5 2026 The guidance is supporting a much drier forecast from Wednesday through Friday, although the ultimate location of the stalled front will greatly dictate whether we continue to see rain much of the week, with the immediate coast and Southeast FL Big Bend being most at risk. Otherwise, drier conditions filter in behind the front and will allow temperatures to be near to slightly below normal for early to mid October. Looking ahead, a tropical disturbance in the Southwest Gulf has a High (80 percent) chance of developing into a Tropical Depression during midweek as it moves northeastward. Regardless of the track, there is an increasing potential of heavy rainfall late this week. Keep tabs on this system. Marine Issued at 331pm EDT Monday Oct 5 2026 Gentle to moderate Northeast breezes become fresh to strong Tuesday morning as a cold front moves through the waters and continue into Thursday morning with seas building to greater than 3 feet just offshore. As the front stalls over the waters, scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms are forecast to persist through the week, especially just offshore. This will result in locally higher winds and seas with waterspouts possible. Fire Weather Issued at 331pm EDT Monday Oct 5 2026 Much of the wetting rain on Tuesday will occur in the FL counties and on Wednesday closer to the Forgotten and Nature Coasts into the Southeast FL Big Bend. Transport winds on Tuesday will become brisk out of the east and continue on Wednesday with breezy conditions expected both days as a cold front moves southward through the region. Lower mixing heigheights within the precipitation on Tuesday will lead to pockets of low dispersion into the afternoon in the FL Big Bend. On Wednesday, a drier air mass begins to filter in outside of the above-mentioned areas with precipitation, as afternoon minimum RH values dip into the 50s. Hydrology Issued at 331pm EDT Monday Oct 5 2026 A Flood Watch remains in effect for most of the area through this evening. Additional rainfall totals of 2 to 4 inches are possible with localized amounts up to 6 inches possible, especially along the coast of the Florida Panhandle and Big Bend. Poor drainage and urbanized areas are most susceptible to flooding. Some rivers could reach Action Stage and some smaller river streams could see minor flooding. Looking ahead, there is an increasing potential for another round of heavy rainfall late this week, with much of the Florida Counties are already outlooked in a Slight Risk (Level 2 of 4) of Excessive Rainfall on Friday.
