The National Weather Service in Miami has issued a flood warning for parts of Southeast and Southwest Florida from Friday at 8 a.m. that continues until Saturday at 8 p.m.

Coastal Collier County, Inland Collier County, and mainland Monroe County are included in the warning. 

Here’s what to expect for the next three days:

Friday: Plenty of rain is expected as Southwest Florida can see anywhere from 2 to 4 inches from Friday through Saturday, with some communities seeing more than 4 inches of rain.

Collier County is now on a flood watch, with road flooding possibly occurring throughout the day.

We will also see rather windy conditions with sustained winds from the southeast at 15 to 25 mph.

Temperatures will stay in the 70s thanks to all of the clouds and rain.

Rain will begin to move out by midday, as drier weather is expected by the evening.

Southwest Florida will see breezy winds from the west at 10 to 20 mph. Highs in the upper 70s and lower 80s.
