Leon County Prepares to Weather Possible Flooding: Preparation is Key.

As of Wednesday morning, forecasters are warning the Tallahassee community of flooding potential as families gear up for Spring Break. The rainy day forecasts warrants suggested caution in areas that are prone to flooding.Tornado Watches have also been issued to our West and Northwest Florida- in addition to areas in South Alabama. Residents are staying positive and are soaking up the few breaks of sun that offer reprieve from the steady showers and thunderstorms.

It is probable that a cold front will ensue and hit homeowners with potentially problematic gusts of wind. The rain may reach above the one inch mark and temperatures are set to stay in the 70’s.

While the first weekend of Spring Break may be spent indoors, as strong and severe thunderstorms will continue to hammer in with heavy rain. Consequently Flash flooding is likely resulting from rainfall totals end up between 3-5" over the next few days with some locally higher amounts where flash flooding is a possibility.

Conditions should settle by Saturday afternoon, but the old weather may be here for the duration of Spring Break vacations.
