Flood watch in effect for Southwest Florida

Published: Updated:

FORT MYERS, Fla. – A Flood Watch is in effect for all of Southwest Florida through Monday evening.

Deep tropical moisture already in place across our area combined with the tropical moisture from the remnants of Tropical Storm Erica currently over Central Cuba will combine to create a threat for very heavy rainfall. WINK News Meteorologists expect rainfall amounts of three to five inches through Monday with locally higher amounts possible. Residents living in flood prone areas should pay special attention to the forecast and take precautions to protect their property.
