Volusia County Monitoring Storm AL94 with Coastal Impacts Expected Early Next Week

Posted On: September 26, 2025

Volusia County is projected to receive 1 to 2 inches of rain on Saturday and Sunday, with about a 10% chance of up to 4 inches in localized areas. In addition, the County is monitoring storm system AL94 in the Atlantic Ocean. Current forecasts show the system will remain far enough offshore to avoid significant inland impacts. As AL94 passes offshore early next week, rainfall totals are expected to be lighter, with amounts of around 1 to 1.5 inches or less between Monday and Tuesday.

Ocean conditions are anticipated to worsen in the coming days, and rip current risks will continue to increase. As the system approaches, beach driving will become increasingly restricted and may close altogether. Marine and boating conditions are also expected to deteriorate, with breakers of 7 to 9 feet forecast.

While inland impacts are not expected, Volusia County residents in low-lying coastal areas near streams and canals are advised to take simple steps to prepare around their homes. Keeping drainage culverts and street drains clear of debris, cleaning gutters, and ensuring downspouts are working properly can reduce the chance of localized flooding from heavy rain.

Because conditions and forecasts can change quickly, the community is encouraged to remain alert and check official sources regularly for the latest weather information.

The County will continue monitoring the storm and provide updates as conditions evolve.
