Flood Watch in Effect
Through Saturday

A Flood Watch is in effect for South Florida through Saturday as strong thunderstorms are expected. The storms coincide with the seasonal King Tides, increasing the risk of coastal flooding. The National Weather Service has also advised a Flash Flood Warning is possible.

Motorist are urged to use caution and seek an alternative route to avoid traveling on flooded streets and pedestrians are reminded to avoid wading through flood waters.

Seasonal tides can raise the water level by more than 2 1/2 feet during high tides which can cause coastal roads, parking lots and docks in vulnerable areas to flood. With the ground already saturated from recent heavy storms, low-lying areas are at an elevated flood risk.
