Onshore Rains and High Surf Grip Southeast Georgia and Florida Coasts

Persistent onshore flow from a coastal trough is funneling showers inland, producing hazardous surf through early week.

Overview

  • Scattered showers and a few thunderstorms ramped up Sunday and are expected to continue into Monday, with coastal Southeast Georgia and the Lowcountry favored for 0.5–1.5+ inches while most inland spots see less.
  • Central and South Florida are seeing fast‑moving bands that can drop 1–3 inches in a short time, leading to ponding on roads and localized urban flooding as rain chances stay elevated through Monday.
  • Marine and beach hazards remain high, including a High Surf Advisory in South Florida extended through Tuesday, life‑threatening rip currents, and Small Craft Advisories with offshore seas reported at 7–12 feet.
  • King tides are boosting high‑tide water levels and raising the risk of minor coastal flooding, with Savannah‑area forecasts peaking near 9.9 feet Tuesday and beach erosion possible along parts of Florida’s east coast.
  • East to northeast winds gusting 20–25 mph will sustain rough surf and onshore showers, while the National Hurricane Center tracks an eastern Atlantic low with about a 60% chance of development over seven days.
