TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) — Widespread rain activity has caused areas of spot, nuisance, and flash flooding, with times of steady rain set to continue for a few more hours.
Previous flash flood warnings have been allowed to expire. Rainfall amounts in Tallahassee are above 2", while northern Leon County areas near Lake Iamonia had exceeded three inches since early this morning. Another couple of inches are expected through the middle of the afternoon, including neighborhoods around Bradfordville, Killearn Lakes, Lake Jackson, Lakeshore, and Midway.
Rain coverage and intensity will increase in the eastern Big Bend and Suwannee River counties this afternoon, and local flooding concerns will increase as well.
A flash flood warning is issued when a flash flood is imminent or occurring. That means flooding could occur in small creeks and streams, urban areas, highways, streets and underpasses as well as other drainage and low lying areas.
If you see a flooded road, you should not drive over it. Instead, turn around and find another way around.
