Miami, Fla. – South Florida is bracing for multiple rounds of heavy rainfall through Friday that could trigger urban flooding in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and surrounding communities. Afternoon storms are expected to be the most active, though downpours may strike at any hour.
According to the National Weather Service in Miami, widespread totals of 2 to 3 inches are likely, with higher amounts of 4 to 6 inches possible along the east coast corridor. Localized totals may exceed those amounts, increasing the chance for street flooding in low-lying areas.
Storms may also bring gusty winds and dangerous cloud-to-ground lightning, with the highest storm chances expected mid to late week. Commuters in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties should prepare for delays, water-covered roadways, and potential detours during peak rain hours.
Residents are urged to avoid driving through flooded streets, secure outdoor items, and keep devices charged in case of power outages. Flood advisories or warnings may be issued as rainfall accumulates through the week.
Warnings remain in effect through Friday, with additional updates possible if rainfall amounts trend higher.
