I think that the storm will help give some much needed rain. But that's about it. Melbourne has updated their forecast to reflect some rainfall. But the forward speed of the system should limit the total rainfall amounts.

System is currently approaching Cape Canaveral and should be across the Peninsula in 6 to8 hours. Using current speed of 21 mph.

If the system were to travel just south of the 29 degree line it would bring some needed rain to coastal areas in five states. FL, AL, MS, LA and TX.

I don't think the southern areas of LA can handle much rain due to the MS River flood waters. But there are some people in that area that need the rain.
