Flood Watch issued November 1 at 11:59PM EST until November 2 at 7:00PM EST by NWS Miami FL
An upper level low will will continue to influence storms in the Gulf and Bahamas through Monday. With the lack of a strong synoptic surface forcing mechanism, predictability as to where and when heavy rain will fall remains low. However, the environment continues to support the potential for heavy rainfall and slow moving cells. * WHAT...Heavy rain may cause, or worsen ongoing urban and street flooding. * WHERE...All of South Florida * WHEN...Through Monday evening. * IMPACTS...Isolated to scattered areas of flash flooding will be possible, with the main impact being street flooding, road closures, and limited impact to structures in flood prone areas. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - Pockets of very heavy rainfall resulted in localized flash flooding on Sunday and those areas, and others, have the potential to be impacted again on Monday. Forecast amounts look very similar to yesterday, with common amounts of 1 to 3 inches where showers and storms occur. Scattered locations around south Florida may see closer to 3 to 5 inches of rain. The more isolated high end amounts have the potential to peak around 6 to 9 inches. These amounts could accumulate rather quickly, on the order of 2 to 4 hours. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
About
Picayune Strand Horseshoe Primitive Campground is a rustic, equestrian-focused campground located in Collier County, approximately 8 miles east of Naples. The campground sits within the 74,168-acre Picayune Strand State Forest, which encompasses cypress strands, wet pine flatwoods, and wet prairies characteristic of southwest Florida. The campground features 6 tent-only sites, each accommodating up to 8 people with space for one vehicle and 1-2 tents. Sites include fire rings and picnic tables. Portable restrooms are provided, but there is no potable water or electricity; campers must bring their own water. For equestrians, 17 uncovered horse stalls are available, with non-potable water accessible at the stalls. Recreational opportunities include horseback riding on 22 miles of equestrian trails that are part of the Florida Forest Service Trailtrotter Program. The forest also offers hiking, off-road biking, bird watching, and wildlife viewing. Horses require current negative Coggins test documentation. Campfires are permitted in fire rings but are subject to county burn bans.
