MIAMI, FL – A stubborn coastal low is keeping South Florida soggy this Friday morning, as floodwaters linger along the Atlantic shoreline from Miami to Fort Lauderdale. Several low-lying neighborhoods and sections of U.S. 1 could see renewed flooding during the midday high tide, while a Coastal Flood Advisory remains in effect until 1 p.m. Friday.
According to the National Weather Service in Miami, a broader Coastal Flood Statement extends through Saturday evening for Miami-Dade and Broward counties. Moderate coastal flooding is expected, especially near Biscayne Bay and barrier islands, with isolated road closures possible. Drivers are urged to avoid water-covered routes and heed all barricades. Beachgoers should stay alert for dangerous rip currents and rough surf through the weekend.
The persistent onshore flow is also keeping humidity high and temperatures in the low to mid-80s. Scattered thunderstorms are likely both Friday and Saturday, bringing brief downpours and lightning. Sunday should bring some relief, with clearing skies and slightly lower humidity returning to coastal areas by afternoon.
Residents in flood-prone zones are advised to move vehicles to higher ground and secure outdoor items. Those heading to pumpkin patches or fall events this weekend may find drier and sunnier weather by Sunday. Early next week looks warm and calm—ideal for leaf-viewing drives or decorating for Halloween across South Florida.
