HYDROLOGIC OUTLOOK
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MELBOURNE FL
616 PM EDT SUN JUN 2 2013

...SUCCESSIVE DAYS OF HEAVY RAINFALL POSSIBLE THIS WEEK...

VERY HIGH TROPICAL MOISTURE WILL BE USHERED NORTHWARD OVER THE
FLORIDA PENINSULA EARLY THIS WEEK AND PERSIST THROUGH AT LEAST
FRIDAY. THE PATTERN WILL FAVOR POSSIBILITY OF HEAVY RAIN OVER MUCH
OF THE AREA DURING SEVERAL DAYS OR MORE BEGINNING MONDAY AND
PERSISTING THROUGH THE WORK WEEK.

AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP SOMEWHERE NEAR THE
SOUTHERN GULF OF MEXICO EARLY IN THE WEEK. THE LOW PRESSURE...IN
SOME STATE OF DEVELOPMENT...WHICH REMAINS UNCERTAIN AT THIS TIME IS
FORECAST TO TRACK SLOWLY TO THE NORTHEAST TOWARDS SOUTHWEST OR
CENTRAL FLORIDA THROUGH THURSDAY.

REGARDLESS OF THE PRESENCE OF A LOW PRESSURE AREA THE THREAT OF VERY
HEAVY RAINFALL AND FLOODING WILL EXIST...ESPECIALLY OVER SOUTH
FLORIDA...WITH THE HEAVIEST RAINS LIKELY FALLING IN THE TUESDAY
THROUGH THURSDAY PERIOD. RAINFALL ACCUMULATIONS OF 4 TO 8 INCHES
ARE POSSIBLE OVER THE NEXT 4 TO 5 DAYS...AND ISOLATED LOCATIONS
COULD SEE EVEN HIGHER AMOUNTS.

FLOOD WATCHES MAY BECOME NECESSARY DURING THE COURSE OF THE
WEEK...SO INTERESTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO MONITOR THE LATEST FORECASTS
AS THIS SITUATION UNFOLDS.
