00:00Some parts of Florida could see more than 5 inches of rain by Thursday, raising flood concerns.
00:05This relentless wet weather comes from a slow-moving cold front stalled over the region,
00:10trapping tropical moisture from Central America.
00:13That moisture fuels heavy rain across a 400-mile stretch from Mobile, Alabama, to Jacksonville, Florida,
00:20where a Level 1 flash flood threat remains through Wednesday.
00:23Coastal areas face strong winds up to 40 mph, increasing risks of flooding,
00:28beach erosion, and dangerous rip currents.
00:31Jacksonville and other cities may surpass their entire October rainfall averages within just one week.
00:37The coastal storm is expected to weaken and move out by Thursday,
00:41but the St. Johns River in northern Florida could still overflow.
00:45This wet spell marks a tough start to October for millions across the southeast.
