Florida Showers and High Surf Bring Local Flooding Risk Into Early Week

Forecasters warn of dangerous rip currents, 5–8 foot surf, hazardous boating conditions.

Overview

  • Fast-moving Atlantic showers continue across Central Florida, South Florida and the Treasure Coast, producing brief heavy downpours.
  • Rain bands capable of 1–3 inches in short bursts are causing ponding on low-lying roads and localized flooding.
  • Beaches face a high rip current risk with 5–8 foot breakers and the potential for minor to moderate erosion, especially near high tide.
  • Small Craft Advisories are in effect as offshore seas run 7–12 feet, with rough marine conditions expected through at least Monday.
  • Wet onshore flow is forecast to persist into the workweek, keeping rain chances elevated and coastal flooding possible with king tides.
