Forecasted rainfall totals generally range from one to two inches, with pockets reaching three to four inches. Authorities advised drivers to expect slower evening commutes and warned of elevated rip current risk along Gulf beaches. Temperatures will fall into the 30s and 40s overnight early midweek beyond.
