The National Weather Service issued the watch just before 10 a.m. on Tuesday, July 15th, and it remains in effect until 8 p.m. ET. The watch extends to surrounding counties including Seminole, Lake, Volusia, and Brevard.
A Flood Watch indicates that conditions are favorable for flooding. Should a Flood Warning be issued, it means flooding is imminent or already occurring.
The National Weather Service warns that “excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas.”
Western Florida, in particular, is bracing for significant rainfall through Thursday, July 17th, with expected totals of 2-4 inches, and higher amounts possible in some areas.
For guests at the theme parks, these weather conditions could lead to disruptions such as the cancellation of outdoor entertainment and the temporary closure of outdoor attractions. Visitors are advised to stay informed about weather updates and park announcements throughout the day.
