Florida drought relief expected from heavy rains.
Flooding and mudslides a risk in both states this week.

The cumulative rainfall could significantly exceed historical averages for March.

Simultaneously, Florida, currently experiencing its worst drought in 25 years, will see prolonged rain and thunderstorms from Monday, April 6, through Thursday, April 9. While this will offer drought relief, localized flooding is a concern, particularly with potential for 4-6 inches of rain in some areas. Coastal Florida faces dangerous beach conditions due to strong onshore winds and repeated downpours.
