Expect multiple days of heavy rainfall with scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms. Flash flooding through Saturday are possible across portions of the Panhandle and North Florida.

The rest of Florida can expect typical, daily summertime thunderstorms, with locally strong to severe thunderstorms possible during the hottest portions of the day. Heat advisories may be issued for portions of South Florida starting midweek.

“Regardless of tropical organization, the storm will spread torrential rainfall eastward this week as it creeps along,” AccuWeather said.

“A general 2-4 inches of rain will fall with local amounts to 8 inches possible. Motorists along the Interstate 10 corridor from eastern Texas to Florida should be prepared for downpours.”

Thursday, especially from Louisiana to the Florida Panhandle, AccuWeather said.

From Friday to Saturday, the main heavy rain zone will focus on northern Florida, the southern portions of Alabama and Georgia and the South Carolina coast.

Breakdown of Florida weather coming up as provided by the Florida Department of Emergency Management:

Panhandle and North Florida: A surge of moisture will gradually move northward from the Gulf of Mexico and toward the Gulf Coast and the Panhandle on Thursday and inland toward the I-10 corridor on Friday. There’s a 70% to 85% chance for scattered to numerous thunderstorms.

Any thunderstorm activity that develops may be capable of producing frequent lightning, gusty winds of 40 to 50 mph and heavy downpours. Flash flooding is possible. The active weather pattern will continue into the weekend as a front continues to stall along the northern Peninsula and near the I-10 corridor

An area of non-tropical low pressure is forecast to develop along the frontal boundary along the northern gulf coast then gradually move eastward to northeastward across the Florida Panhandle and Big Bend.Computer model guidance will continue to be monitored over the next couple of days regarding where the potential low develops and its movement through the weekend.

Florida Peninsula: On Thursday, a slight pattern change will allow for showers and thunderstorms will develop along the West Coast and move inland then collide with the East Coast sea breeze. A pocket of Saharan Dry air will attempt to bring slightly drier conditions along portions of Southeast Florida, but the overall summertime thunderstorm pattern can be expected to continue through the weekend.

Portions of South Florida could see more scattered shower and thunderstorm activity with the help of slightly drier air while the rest of the Peninsula will see scattered to numerous shower and thunderstorm activity.

Any thunderstorm could become locally strong to severe during the peak heating hours of the day. Thunderstorms will be capable of producing frequent lightning, gusty winds (40-50 mph) and heavy downpours.

Warm and muggy conditions can be expected each day as high temperatures will remain in the low to middle 90s with heat index values in the triple digits (100-108-degrees). Portions of South Florida could see heat index values reaching near or at Heat Advisory criteria beginning Wednesday and continuing into the weekend (105 degrees and higher).
