Starting Tuesday, tropical moisture will be building in ahead of a front. The result: high chances for passing downpours, especially in southern areas of Orlando.

Through the week, there will be the potential for some 6+” rainfall totals, especially as you get toward south Florida, but the dropoff to much lower amounts could restrict areas north of Orlando to much less.

With each passing shower, Channel 9 will monitor any risk of flooding and/or strong to severe storms this week.

Keep in mind tropical development isn’t anticipated out of this messy weather set up over the next 7 days; we’ll be monitoring just in case the organization can beat the odds and develop a messy named system later this week.
