Melbourne, FL – Torrential rainstorms are expected throughout Tuesday, raising concerns over localized flooding in Melbourne. Storms will impact areas with low-lying terrain, especially in urban regions. Heavy rainfall rates could dump 2-3 inches in as little as 90 minutes.
The National Weather Service in Melbourne warns that saturated ground may worsen flooding conditions, especially along I-95 and surrounding roadways. There’s also a moderate risk of rip currents, urging caution at the beaches. Strong downpours are forecasted to last into Wednesday, potentially disrupting daily commutes.
According to the National Weather Service, these storms bring an increased risk of flooding, particularly in areas where the ground is already saturated. Residents should avoid flooded roads, heed barricades, and delay travel when necessary. The risk of flooding will remain high for much of the week, with rain likely through Thursday and scattered storms forecasted until Saturday.
Authorities advise drivers to exercise caution on waterlogged streets and avoid low-lying areas prone to flooding. Be alert to changing weather conditions.
