Volusia County remains under a Flood Watch at least through 8 a.m. Sunday, October 5, as periods of heavy rain are anticipated across the region. Currently, the National Weather Service projects a 60 percent chance of inland areas receiving one inch of rain, a 40 percent chance of two inches, and a 10 percent chance of four inches. Coastal areas may experience one to three inches of rain, with localized amounts of four to five inches possible. This rainfall may result in flooding of low-lying areas, swales, and roadways. Residents are encouraged to check around their property to ensure gutters are clear, downspouts are positioned correctly, and debris or trash is not blocking storm drains. High tides are expected to run one to two feet above normal, which may cause flooding of low-lying roads near the shore and along the Intracoastal Waterway.
A High Surf Advisory, Rip Current Statement, and Small Craft Advisory remain in effect through Sunday night. Surf heights of five to eight feet are expected along the Atlantic coast, creating a high risk of rip currents and the potential for moderate beach and dune erosion. High tide at area beaches will occur between 4 and 7 a.m. and again between 4 and 7 p.m. throughout the weekend. Residents and visitors are strongly urged to stay out of the ocean and to follow the instructions of Volusia County Beach Safety.
Volusia County will continue to provide updates and encourages the public to monitor official sources, including Volusia County's social media channels, the Volusia County Emergency Management app, and the National Weather Service.
