Widespread showers and thunderstorms are forecast for Pinellas County today through the weekend. Heavy rain may cause localized flash flooding, especially in urban and low-lying areas, along with gusty winds and frequent lightning.
Never drive or walk through flooded roadways. Just six inches of fast-moving water can knock you down, and one foot can float a car. Avoid driving through flooded streets to prevent creating waves, which cause additional property damage to nearby homes. Remember: Turn Around, Don't Drown!
