A surface boundary draped across the central Florida peninsula resulted in slow moving showers and thunderstorms that produced heavy rainfall across central and southern Brevard County. 6-10 inches of widespread rainfall was observed across the impacted areas, with isolated higher amounts of 10-11 inches of rain observed in Palm Bay, Malabar, Indialantic, and Floridana Beach. Areas of flooding and flash flooding resulted in impassible roads, stalled vehicles and water entered a few homes.

Newspaper and public reports on social media indicated flooding on Carol Street in Titusville and Pleasant Avenue in Port Saint John. The ground in these areas received abundant rainfall from Hurricane Irma only weeks prior, and the 1-3 inches of widespread rain that fell on October 1st caused low-lying roads and other poor drainage areas to flood easily. The Windover Farms neighborhood saw the water levels in the already swollen area canals rise to cover low-lying streets.
