Labor Day Weekend Weather Forecasts Across the US

South and Central U.S.:: Expect downpours and potential flash flooding.

Florida:: Increased rain chances with a level 1 out of 4 risk of excessive rainfall. Heavy thunderstorms may lead to airport delays and street flooding, especially in South Florida.

Southeast Coast:: Rough surf and strong rip currents are expected from Florida to the Carolinas, expanding north to Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, and New Jersey. Minor coastal flooding is possible at times of high tide.

West of the Rockies:: Very warm to hot conditions will prevail, with decreasing thunderstorm activity.

Midwest and Northeast:: Sunshine with light winds and low humidity is expected on Labor Day after showers and thunderstorms earlier in the weekend.

Florida Specifics: Models show a better chance for rain across Southwest Florida as a more prominent westerly flow and increased moisture come into play. All of Southwest Florida is under a level 1 out of 4 risk of seeing excessive rainfall today due to some of the showers and storms being on the heavier side.

Central Florida Forecast: Central Florida can expect numerous showers and storms developing Sunday. Rain chances are expected to build through the afternoon, increasing from around 50% and peaking at 70% into the evening. A marginal risk has been placed for minor flooding Sunday, particularly in low-lying spots prone to water collection. Totals of 1-to-3 inches of rain aren’t out of the question, and isolated higher amounts could lead to those minor flooding issues. This unsettled setup sticks around for Labor Day and beyond, with rain coverage ranging from 50 to 70% into midweek.
