Miami, FL – A weak front is slowly moving across South Florida today, bringing a forecast of scattered showers and a few isolated storms. According to the National Weather Service (NWS), while the bulk of storm activity is expected to remain just offshore, there is still a chance for heavy rain to develop over land, particularly along the east coast. Localized flooding remains a concern.
The stormy conditions are forecast to hit between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. today, with the highest rainfall amounts of up to 2 inches expected in localized areas. However, the most likely scenario will see rainfall amounts under 1 inch for most of the region. Residents of southeastern Florida, especially those in coastal areas, should be alert for any flooding risks.
Key Impacts:
- Timeframe: Showers and storms are expected to develop between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.
- Rainfall: Less than 1 inch is the most likely outcome, but some spots could experience more than 2 inches, increasing the risk of localized flooding.
- Flood Risk: Areas along the east coast are at higher risk for flooding, especially during periods of heavy rain.
Drivers and beachgoers should remain cautious during this time, as reduced visibility from rainstorms and potential flooding may impact roadways and coastal areas. Make sure to stay updated on weather conditions if you’re planning to be outside today.
