Bottom Line:

A multi-day heavy rainfall event is coming up starting today and extending through Saturday. The heaviest rainfall will come on Friday, when there is a Slight Risk (Level 2 of 4) of Excessive Rainfall; scattered flash flooding is possible. 

The heaviest rainfall amounts are forecast near the Panhandle coast. 

Rivers are starting off very low, and no riverine flooding is expected.

Overview:

North of I-10:

1.5 to 3 inches of rain will be common through this weekend. A few pockets could get high-end totals of 4 to 6 inches. 

I-10 southward:

3 to 6 inches of rain will be common through this weekend. A few places along the immediate coast could get 6 to 10 inches. Despite the dry antecedent conditions, torrential rainfall rates could lead to scattered flash flooding, particularly in urban areas along the coast.
