The Weather Prediction Center has raised the alarm for a rare “high” risk of flash flooding in central Florida, with a level 4 out of 4 warning. The center is cautioning that widespread and life-threatening flash flooding is expected, urging residents to take immediate precautions.

These high-risk warnings are a serious matter, as they are only issued on less than 4% of days each year but account for a significant portion of flood-related damage and fatalities, according to the center.
