Forecast for Friday and the weekend - Flood watch in effect, at least until Saturday afternoon

High rainfall through the weekend as Cristobal’s rain bands arrive in Central Florida. Keep in mind that Cristobal is not forecast to make a direct hit to Florida, but the system is so broad and messy that Florida will get a big chunk of its convection.

Rain will be on and off and it will remain mostly cloudy. Expect rain amounts above 3 inches area-wide and some spots with over 5 inches through Sunday.
