Invest 93L: How much rain has fallen in Orlando as tropical disturbance crosses Florida?

Orlando and most of Central Florida have seen heavy rainfall and minor flooding after tropical moisture – known as Invest 93L – crossed the Florida Peninsula on Tuesday.

Between 1 to 3 inches of rain was forecast for Orlando and most of Central Florida, though some areas, such as Brevard and Volusia counties, saw from 4 to over 8 inches of rain.

The area of low pressure was not expected to develop further over Florida, but could once it reaches the northeastern Gulf on Wednesday. 

Timeline: When will the heaviest rain arrive? When will the system leave?

Tuesday night:  Showers and storms will move in from the south as Central Florida catches the backside of the area of low pressure. More waves of heavy rain will surge into the region through roughly midnight. 

Wednesday morning: After midnight and into the predawn hours of Wednesday, a few isolated lingering showers can't be ruled out.

Flood watches issued for Orlando, Central Florida

What we know:

A Flood Watch was issued for Volusia, Lake, Orange, Seminole, Brevard and Osceola counties as the tropical disturbance moved across the region. Those watches were allowed to expire late Tuesday.
