Rain generic (KPRC 2)

ORLANDO, Fla. – The rain has been steady under cloudy skies with the cold front to our south.

As it stalls over South Florida, plumes of deep moisture will continue to funnel in which in return will bring a more steady and widespread coverage of rainfall overnight and into Sunday.

Expect moderate rainfall with pockets of heavy rain at times that could add up quickly.

The National Weather Service reported that Leesburg preliminarily set a new daily rainfall record on Saturday with .94 inches so far, beating the old record of .64 set in 1972.

Accumulations overnight are expected to be around 1-1.5 inches.
