MIAMI, Fla. – Coastal flooding and heavy rain continue to challenge South Florida drivers and residents early this Saturday as tropical moisture lingers along the southeast coast. Water is already ponding in low-lying streets from Hollywood to Miami Beach, with flood advisories holding through Sunday afternoon.
According to the National Weather Service in Miami, isolated coastal flooding is likely through the weekend across Broward and coastal Miami-Dade Counties, particularly near U.S. 1, A1A, and neighborhoods bordering Biscayne Bay. Drivers are urged to avoid flooded roadways and allow extra time for travel, especially along I-95 where lane spray and pooling water remain hazards.
Rain chances stay high Saturday with thunderstorms expected through late afternoon. By Sunday, high pressure builds, ushering in brighter skies and drier air just in time for Columbus Day. Winds turn northeast, pushing out remaining moisture and setting up a sunnier start to the new week.
Beachgoers should still use caution. Tides remain elevated, and rip currents will stay moderate through Sunday evening. The good news: sunshine dominates early next week, making ideal conditions for outdoor plans, pumpkin patch visits, or fall park events by Tuesday.
South Florida will remain unseasonably warm, with highs in the mid-80s and lows in the mid-70s. No early fall cold snap is expected just yet, but humidity will ease slightly by midweek.
