At least 15 inches of rain falls in Florida county as flash flood danger continues

Florida is experiencing a potentially historic amount of rainfall as a flash flood warning continues in the state.

At least 15 to 20 inches have fallen in southeastern Brevard County in east central Florida with 2 to 6 inches of additional rain possible.

The current one-day Florida rainfall record total is 23.28 inches in Key West in 1980, when moisture associated with Hurricane Jeanne in the Gulf interacted with a stationary boundary over South Florida.

Meanwhile, a flash flood warning continues for West Melbourne, Palm Bay and Grant-Valkaria.
