That's what you should expect and the forecast pretty much reflects that

It rained continuosly for 27 consecutive hours from 1a.m. yesterday morning through 4 a.m. this morning. The total rainfall was 2.4 inches ending this morning at my locale.It is remarkable the rain amounts were not significantly more considering the long duration of this event. It was mostly light to steady rain the entire event for the Jax metro area. However, other than having a local nor'easter or .a tropical cyclone, I can not recall having an all day long continuous rain. There were some spots which picked up heavier amounts of upward to 5 inches of rainfall, mainly down around Gainesville to Palatka.
Thankfully, the atmosphere stayed stable to keep severe weather out of our area for the event. BTW, since Nov. 1, I have measured now just over 10 inches of rainfall at my home, including yesterday. This is amazing since November and December normally are among our driest months of the year. The El Nino pattern has definitely given us plenty of rain up here this Fall and early Winter for sure.
The southern branch of the jet stream just has not shifted far enough south just yet for the storms to really impact extreme South Florida. This hopefully will change as we get into January and February.
We finally get a break up here with the rain gone for now until our next southern stream system comes down the pike. We will have nice, seasonable days temp wise with highs in the 60s and lows in the low-mid 40s up at least through Tuesday. GFS is showing potential rain moving back in possibly by Thursday for the peninsula.
Also, this morning's 06Z GFS run is showing a deep upper level trough carving itself out across the Eastern CONUS by next weekend. This may bring another potential freeze up here across the North Florida area, if this GFS run comes close to verifying.

It’s amaxong with a El Niño that we can’t get rain south of lake O. It just dries up.Why?? Even if we had a La Niña we would still get rain. All the canals, lakes, and ponds are all way down. Let’s hope the pattern changes because north and central Florida are water logged and we are in a moderate drought, soon to be severe.
