Miami, Florida – Scattered thunderstorms could disrupt travel and outdoor plans across South Florida today as a round of strong to severe storms moves through the region.
According to the National Weather Service in Miami, activity will ramp up after a brief overnight lull, with rain beginning near Alligator Alley early Sunday morning and spreading south through the day. The highest risk for heavy rainfall stretches from Naples to Miami, with some storms bringing gusty winds, frequent lightning, and localized flooding.
Communities including Fort Lauderdale, Homestead, and West Palm Beach may experience periods of intense downpours and slick roadways. Motorists are urged to slow down and allow extra time when driving through low-visibility areas. Flash flooding in urban zones remains a concern where rainfall rates peak.
Residents are advised to secure loose outdoor items, avoid flooded roads, and remain indoors during storms, especially where lightning is active. This marks one of the first severe storm threats to sweep South Florida as the summer rainy season ramps up.
Storm chances will taper off late Sunday night, but lingering moisture could trigger more rain into early Monday. Additional advisories may follow if conditions worsen.
