Brief Dry Lull in South Florida Before Midweek Soaking and Flood Risk

The Weather Prediction Center places the region under a Marginal Risk for excessive rainfall on Wednesday.

Overview

  • Lower humidity and a frontal shift into the Florida Straits are limiting widespread storms today, with highs in the mid to upper 80s.
  • Isolated sea-breeze storms remain possible today and Monday, with frequent lightning and gusty winds in a few cells.
  • A cutoff low near the Southeast coast will help pull a stalled boundary back north, drawing deeper tropical moisture into South Florida by midweek.
  • Rain chances increase to roughly 70–80% from Wednesday through Friday, with the greatest potential for heavy rain Wednesday and Thursday and a risk of localized urban and poor-drainage flooding.
  • A Coastal Flood Statement is in effect along the east coast during king tides, making minor tidal flooding possible within a couple of hours of high tide.
