already saturated areas may experience further flooding

BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – The Florida Division of Emergency Management reports that flood watches remain in effect through the evening for East-Central Florida following a period of heavy rainfall and widespread flooding.

With additional storms expected, officials warn that already saturated areas may experience further flooding.

Residents are urged to remain alert, monitor weather updates, and follow guidance from local authorities.

The agency stresses the importance of avoiding flooded roads, reminding drivers that water depth and hazards can be difficult to judge and may conceal serious dangers.

According to the Florida Division of Emergency Management, a flood watch indicates that conditions are favorable for flooding, while a flood warning means flooding is imminent or already occurring.

In the event of a warning, residents in flood-prone areas should move to higher ground immediately and avoid walking or driving through standing water.

Officials continue to monitor conditions closely and encourage the public to stay informed through official emergency channels as the situation develops.
