Well, we’ve been looking for rain across Florida and Georgia for the last year or so.  Very dry there and an extreme drought in some places.  Fay will be the king maker when it comes to that.  Look for lots of rain, up to 15-20 inches in Florida and parts of Southeast Georgia because of the slow movement of Fay.  The two day total for Melbourne so far is 13.5″! Our rainfall totals will be around 2-3, but perhaps higher depending on the speed and on shore flow.  We might see higher amounts along the coastline.

Winds will stay up over the next two to three days as Fay moves west into Florida, the pressure difference with the big, blocking high to the north will keep it breezy and at times, gusty especially along the coast.

Looks like such a slow movement will keep the chance of rain here for the next few days and into the weekend.  Look for Fay to weaken and diminish the moist flow after Saturday and Sunday.

Busy day again here in the Storm Center.  Morning commute with the kids back to school went well as that alarm went off oh so early!  Hope your days are going well.

Scott and I hope you join us for tonight’s broadcast as we bring you the latest on Fay.
