A developing storm system is producing rounds of heavy rainfall across the Florida peninsula, leaving some communities vulnerable to flooding. WUSF says a flood watch covers much of the southern half of the state, with one to 3 inches possible south of the Interstate 4 corridor. In other local news, WUSF says DJs at the Polls will bring hip-hop DJs to Tampa polling places to encourage voting. Here's Chloe with your forecast. It will be mostly cloudy with isolated showers and a high near 80 degrees, and east northeast winds near 13 miles per hour. The rain chance is 20 percent with a few tenths likely, lows near 70; Rosa's out on location for us. Yuengling Center hosts a doubleheader today: women play Furman at 5 in the evening, men play Charleston Southern at 7 in the evening. I'm Rosa.
