Miami, FL – South Florida is expected to face torrential rainfall and gusty winds by Wednesday morning as Potential Tropical Cyclone Nine moves into the Gulf of Mexico.
The National Hurricane Center (NHC) forecasts that South Florida will experience widespread rainfall, with totals exceeding six inches in some areas, leading to localized flooding. While the storm is expected to strengthen into a hurricane later this week, its outer bands will bring heavy rains to South Florida starting early Wednesday.
Emergency officials are urging residents to avoid flood-prone roads and stay updated on potential flash flood warnings. Those living in low-lying areas should take precautions and secure loose outdoor items to prevent damage.
Continued updates will be provided as the storm’s path becomes clearer, with stronger impacts expected for the northern Gulf Coast later in the week.
