According to the National Weather Service in Melbourne, rain and storm chances will remain highest along the east coast, ranging from 60% to 70%, with Brevard County expected to see some of the most active weather during the afternoon and evening hours.

Forecasters say slow-moving thunderstorms will increase the risk of heavy rainfall, producing quick accumulations of 1 to 3 inches of rain, with isolated locations potentially receiving more than 4 inches.

As a result, portions of east-central Florida have been placed under a Marginal Risk (Level 1 of 4) for excessive rainfall.

The primary storm hazards Monday include:

• Frequent lightning strikes

• Heavy downpours

• Localized flooding of roads and low-lying areas

• Wind gusts up to 50 mph

Brevard County communities from Titusville to Melbourne are expected to experience some of the highest rain chances in the region, with storm coverage around 70%.

Despite the increased rain chances, temperatures will remain hot, with afternoon highs reaching the mid-90s across much of east-central Florida, including Melbourne, Daytona Beach and Vero Beach.

Motorists are urged to use caution during periods of heavy rainfall, especially on flood-prone roadways.

Residents should also monitor weather conditions throughout the day and seek shelter immediately if thunderstorms approach.
