Melbourne, FL – Heavy rain is expected throughout the day, bringing significant flood risks. Local forecasts predict rainfall amounts between two and four inches. Isolated areas may see even greater totals.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Melbourne, slower-moving storms will repeatedly affect the region. The storm’s heavy rainfall could cause localized flooding, with certain areas possibly experiencing more than four inches of rain.
The NWS has also issued a warning for residents to stay safe by avoiding flooded areas. “Turn around, don’t drown” remains the message as water on roads can be deceiving and dangerous.

Residents should stay tuned to local weather updates and follow safety recommendations to avoid hazards caused by the storms. Floodwaters can contain harmful bacteria, sharp debris, and other dangerous contaminants.
