MIAMI, Fla. – Isolated coastal flooding continued along parts of A1A and Biscayne Bay early Sunday, as high tides pushed water onto low-lying roads and driveways. Some residential areas near Miami Beach and Key Biscayne reported standing saltwater during the morning high tide, though conditions are expected to gradually improve through the day.
According to the National Weather Service in Miami, a Coastal Flood Statement remains in effect until 5 p.m. Sunday for Miami-Dade and Broward counties. The agency warns that minor tidal flooding could still impact coastal neighborhoods, marinas, and park areas through the afternoon. Drivers are urged to avoid flooded streets and to not attempt to drive through standing water.
Sunny, seasonable weather takes over by Monday, offering ideal conditions for the tail end of the Columbus Day holiday weekend. Skies will stay clear and dry with highs near 85°F, perfect for pumpkin patch visits or outdoor markets. Breezy northeast winds Tuesday may push in slightly drier air, signaling a modest fall pattern shift for the middle of October.
By midweek, high pressure builds over South Florida, keeping skies bright with mild mornings in the mid-70s and highs around 84°F. No major rain threats are expected until late week, when a few light showers could return Thursday night into Friday.
Residents should continue watching tidal trends and prepare for the higher-than-normal fall king tides that may return later in the month.
