2,755 first-hand accounts of flood events in Florida, ranked by impact. Each is a NOAA-written narrative of the moment.
Persistent easterly flow allowed for showers and storms to develop and migrate towards the Gulf Coast of South Florida. An inverted trough axis that finally pushed from the Florida peninsula and out in the Gulf Of Mexico further allowed for instability and aided in the…

Several cars received water damage while trying to pass through low-lying flooded roadways in Northern Pinellas county.

Read the full account →A front settled across the Altamaha River basin into the afternoon and became nearly stationary into the night across the local area as an upper-level impulse passed over the area.
Read the full account →An upper level low pressure area with very cold temperatures aloft moved towards South FL today through the day. This along with strong daytime heating and high atmospheric moisture led to rounds of strong to severe showers and thunderstorms areawide.
Read the full account →Surface high pressure over the southern tip of South FL prompted light low-level westerly flow across the region while a mid-upper level low pressure area moved westward across the FL Straits. This allowed for plenty of moisture to plague the area.
Read the full account →A weak front was stalled near the I-10 corridor, and a weak surface low developed on the boundary in the NE Gulf of Mexico. Small waves of mid level energy rotated around the east side of the low across the local area and combined with precipitable water of well over 2 inches,…
