Brevard Public Schools has canceled classes at all of its schools for Monday, Nov. 2, because of severe weather and flooding across the county. "Due to inclement weather, schools are closed today," the district says on its website. The closure was first reported by Spectrum News 13.

The decision comes after the National Weather Service in Melbourne put much of Brevard under Flash Flood Warnings before dawn. As of 6:30 a.m., NWS Melbourne said training bands of showers and storms were still producing heavy rain, warnings remained in effect for parts of the county, and the county-wide Flood Watch runs through 7 p.m. Monday. Radar showed 6 to 8 inches of rain had fallen in southern Brevard by early morning, according to the weather service's warning. See our Flash Flood Warning story for the areas covered.

The weather service urges anyone who must drive to turn around at flooded roads rather than drive through them.
