ORLANDO, Fla. – Another week of wet weather is on tap for the Orlando area.
"Lots of tropical moisture continues to build into Central Florida," News 6 meteorologist Troy Bridges said. "A plume of deep moisture has returned and will remain over Florida with a deep southerly flow and a ridge of high pressure to the east."

Rain will be off and on Monday, with a 70 percent coverage of the region.
Rain chances stand at 50 percent for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and 60 percent on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
"Tropical moisture will continue to stream in with that deep, southerly flow," Bridges said. "That means winds out of the south bringing in lots more moisture through the holiday Memorial Day weekend."
A new system will possibly develop into a tropical depression and move into the Gulf of Mexico by the end of the week.
"The European model is showing a tropical system moving to Louisiana for the weekend," Bridges said. "There continues to be consistency with that model, which is good news for Central Florida in some ways."

Sunday's high was 78.
"We saw 0.28 inches of rain on Sunday, dropping Orlando's yearly rain deficit to 1.98 inches," Bridges said.
Flooding rains in South Florida
Rainy season hit South Florida with full force over the weekend, bringing heavy rains, flood watches in low-lying areas and a smattering of power outages.
The outlook isn't making for a happy Monday for much of the Sunshine State, where more rain is also expected.
The National Weather Service said a flood watch remains in effect until noon in Broward County, where many areas have experienced flooded roads.
The agency said more than 14 inches of rain fell near Coconut Creek and 11 inches of rain fell in nearby Fort Lauderdale during a 24-hour period from Saturday evening to Sunday evening.
Further south, just under 2 inches of rain fell in Miami Beach.
