Heavy rainfall could cause flooding in the Florida peninsula Wednesday into Thursday as deep tropical moisture remains well established over the southern half of the Sunshine State. Rainfall should average 1 to 3 inches, but high spots over 5 inches are possible. The heaviest amounts will be in areas where thunderstorms stall and unleash several inches of rain in a short period of time.
The National Weather Service in Tampa says that much of west-central Florida still has standing water from Colin, so any additional rainfall could cause more flooding.
