...There is a Slight Risk (level 2/4) of excessive rainfall over
the Southeast Coast of Florida Plains on Saturday...

...Nor'easter develops along the Carolina coast this weekend,
bringing potential coastal flooding and beach erosion along
portions of the Mid-Atlantic coast into early next week...

Low pressure off, Nor'easter, the North Carolina coast will move
eastward out over the Atlantic by Sunday morning. Moisture
circulating around the low will stream moisture into the North
Carolina coast, producing rain through Monday as the low moves
closer to the North Carolina Coast.  The trailing cold front over
southern Florida will slowly move southward to the Straits of
Florida, bringing rain over southern Florida through Monday. The
rain will be heavy on Saturday. Therefore, the WPC has issued a
Slight Risk (level 2/4) of excessive rainfall over parts of the
Southern Plains on Saturday through Sunday morning. The associated
heavy rain will create mainly localized areas of flash flooding,
with urban areas, roads, and small streams, with low-lying areas
the most vulnerable, and landslides on roads.

In addition, moisture flowing northward over northwestern Mexico
will stream into the Southwest, adding to rain over the area
through Monday. Moreover, an approaching low over the Eastern
Pacific will produce rain along the Pacific Northwest Coast on
Monday.
