Jacksonville, FL – Heavy rain will blanket much of Florida and southern Georgia through Friday, threatening flash flooding and hazardous travel as a stalled weather system continues to dump moisture across the region. According to the National Weather Service, several inches of rain are likely, especially along the Florida-Georgia line, where saturated ground and overflowing streams could quickly lead to dangerous conditions on roads and in low-lying neighborhoods.
Cities from Tallahassee to Jacksonville and Valdosta face repeated rounds of downpours, with rainfall totals climbing well above two to four inches in many areas. Interstate 10 and other major routes could see standing water and reduced visibility, while smaller roads may become impassable during periods of intense rainfall. Residents should have multiple ways to receive emergency alerts and avoid driving through flooded roadways.
Utility crews are bracing for potential outages, and local emergency managers urge everyone to monitor weather updates and be prepared to seek higher ground if needed. The risk for scattered flash flooding is expected to persist until the stationary front finally moves out by late week.
Warnings remain in effect, and additional advisories may be issued as conditions evolve.
