More Heavy Rain, Flood Risk For North Florida

JACKSONVILLE, Florida – The National Weather Service in Jacksonville has issued a forecast for North Florida predicting heavy rainfall with a risk of flash flooding on Sunday, August 10, 2025, with continued risks through Monday.

According to NWS Jacksonville, continued daily rounds of heavy rainfall on saturated ground will bring a localized flood risk through Monday, especially across coastal southeast Georgia.

Morning and early afternoon storms near the Atlantic coast will shift inland into the afternoon and early evening. Heavy downpours are expected, with periods of heavy rainfall bringing isolated flood risk through the weekend.

Storms will be capable of producing:

• Heavy downpours, which may lead to localized flooding, mainly in urban areas.
• Frequent lightning.

The greatest flood risk is in coastal southwest Georgia, with expected rainfall of 1-2 inches and locally as high as 3-4 inches. There is also a high chance of precipitation, ranging from 80-100% across much of the region from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM EDT.

North Florida cities at risk for heavy rainfall and flash flooding include regions within the shaded area such as:

• Lake City
• Jacksonville
• Gainesville
• Saint Augustine
• Ocala
• Palm Coast
• Palatka
• Live Oak

Additionally, heavy downpours on already-saturated ground increases the risk for flooding, especially in urban, low-lying, saturated, and poor drainage areas. Avoid flooded areas and never enter flood waters.
