Sorry if this is a naive question for all you pros and experts, but is there a graphic that exists that shows what rainfall we might expect from the storm on its current path?
I understand that a slow or stalled storm will drop more rain. I'm just curious how much rainfall is expected in, say, Miami vs. Orlando vs. Ft. Myers. I saw 12" bandied about before, I assume this is what they think is in the worst areas, or is what we should expect all over the state?
Thanks.

I'm sure there will be isolated reports of 20". It is IMPOSSIBLE to forecast exactly where bands will setup. W/ such a slow motion though, many areas will receive 6-12" over the course of a day. Of the places you mention, Orland is probably more likely to receive the most. It is really going to depend on where the center of the storm goes - which, if you ask me, is somewhat up in the air right now. Also, if the trough coming through the country misses Frances, she will most likely stall out somewhere in the south ...and could easily still cause flooding problems in many southern states.
