Weather Update: October 4, 2025

Posted On: October 4, 2025

The National Weather Service's Flood Watch for Volusia County remains in effect through at least 8 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 5, with rain anticipated to move in this afternoon and continue into early next week. The Coastal Flood Advisory also remains in effect and has been extended through the morning of Tuesday, Oct. 7.

Forecasters note that the greatest rainfall and potential impacts are expected east of Interstate 95, particularly in coastal areas. A 60 percent chance of rain is forecast for the area today, with rainfall totals of one to three inches expected and isolated higher amounts possible. Brief downpours may lead to ponding on roadways and minor flooding in low-lying areas.

The National Weather Service's High Surf Advisory, Rip Current Statement, and Small Craft Advisory remain in effect through Sunday night. High tides are forecast to run one to two feet above normal, which may cause flooding of low-lying roads, yards, and areas along the Intracoastal Waterway. Large breaking waves will continue along the Atlantic coast, creating a high risk of rip currents and the potential for moderate beach and dune erosion. High tide at area beaches will occur between 5 and 9 a.m. and again between 5 and 9 p.m. through tomorrow.

Residents are advised to avoid driving through standing water, as even small amounts covering the road can be hazardous. Additionally, salt water in particular can cause significant damage to vehicles. Residents are also encouraged to check around their property to ensure gutters are clear, downspouts are positioned correctly, and debris or trash is not blocking storm drains. Volusia County encourages everyone to remain alert to changing conditions and to monitor official sources, including the County's social media channels, the Volusia County Emergency Management app, and the National Weather Service.
