Miami, FL – Heavy rainfall is anticipated across South Florida this upcoming weekend, raising concerns about potential urban flooding.

The NWS warns that heavy rain over urban areas could lead to localized flooding. Current models indicate that rainfall will be most intense over the weekend, with a “limited” risk of excessive rainfall on Saturday and Sunday.
