Torrential rainfall and flooding are no longer in the forecast for Central Florida as Subtropical Storm Alberto tracks toward Panama City, according to WFTV meteorologist George Waldenberger.
The flood watch for Central Florida has been canceled as drier air moves into Central Florida moves into the area, limiting the chance for widespread heavy rain tonight through Monday morning.
The drier air has wrapped in around Alberto, now headed toward the Florida Panhandle, with an anticipated landfall Monday near or west of Panama City.
Scattered showers moved across parts of the area Sunday, with rain winding down by evening. More rain is expected on Memorial Day, mainly during the afternoon.
The rain chance for Memorial Day has significantly reduced since Alberto has tracked further west away from mainland Florida.
Alberto is forecast to make landfall in northwest Florida Monday.
For Central Florida, the Monday weather pattern will be back to a normal summer day, with hotter temperatures and scattered storms developing in the afternoon.
