Midnight rain: What's behind Florida's storms residents have been waking up to this week?

If all goes according to the forecast, this weekend's weather will put the month's rainfall in the Daytona Beach region above the average of 5.04 inches, a National Weather Service meteorologist said Friday morning.

There is an 80% chance of precipitation on Saturday with new rainfall amounts between a tenth to a quarter of an inch, and a high near 90 degrees, according to the forecast.

For June, rainfall and temperatures have been slightly below normal, Scott Kelly, a lead meteorologist with the weather service's Melbourne office, said.

Late-night rainstorms

While Florida residents are accustomed to afternoon showers and thunderstorms during the rainy season, this week saw late-night storms, some of which continued into the following morning.

"The pattern that we're in and that we have been in for some weeks is an upper-level trough over the eastern U.S.," Kelly said.

As a result, conditions are producing storms, day or night, across the peninsula, Kelly said.

"Even though the rainfall has been pretty regular, there hasn't been any record," Kelly said.
