Flying out from @FLLFlyer this morning? Leave yourself plenty of time. Traffic is very heavy after airport operations had to be shut down overnight due to flooding. Airport has reopened but traffic is backed up. pic.twitter.com/5HDXEJmEy9

Flash flood watches are in effect for parts of Georgia and South Carolina through Monday night.
Some spots could pick up an additional 2 to 4 inches of rain before the system starts to pull away from the Southeast Tuesday morning.
A western storm is bringing very heavy rain to Southern California on Monday, including Los Angeles and San Diego, with some flooding possible.

The heavy rain will move into Arizona on Tuesday.
Outside of the two travel trouble spots in the Southwest and Southeast, it will be a very mild, spring-like Christmas for most of the eastern U.S.
Temperatures will reach the 50s in the Chicago area and the 40s into the Great Lakes and the Northeast.
