Miami, Florida – Rip currents and storms are combining for a dangerous day along South Florida’s beaches, with conditions expected to remain hazardous through Tuesday evening.
According to the National Weather Service in Miami, a high rip current risk remains in effect until 8 p.m. Tuesday for coastal areas of Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade counties. Officials warn that even experienced swimmers may be pulled into deeper water. Beachgoers are strongly advised to stay out of the ocean, especially along A1A and Ocean Drive, where red flags are posted.
Strong easterly winds and scattered thunderstorms will increase the risk throughout the day. Showers and storms are likely from late morning into the evening, with gusts reaching 20 mph near the coast. Rainfall amounts will be light but steady, contributing to choppy surf and low visibility.
Anyone entering the water should swim only near lifeguards. If caught in a rip current, float calmly, avoid fighting the current, and swim parallel to the shore if possible. Emergency officials urge visitors and residents to avoid non-essential beach travel during peak afternoon hours.
More advisories could follow, especially if storms intensify into Wednesday. Stay weather-aware and monitor updates via the National Weather Service or local emergency alerts.
