Overview

  • South Florida stays unsettled Thursday, following flooding rain earlier this week, with quick-moving showers and a few storms possible.
  • The Weather Prediction Center rates Miami-Dade and Broward at a Level 1 excessive rainfall risk as the National Weather Service keeps any flood watch off the board.
  • Strong northeast winds are driving showers onshore with gusts near 25 to 35 mph, making surf rough and rip currents dangerous.
  • A high surf advisory covers the Palm Beaches through Friday and small craft advisories are up for Atlantic and Keys waters.
  • Rain chances fall Friday and the weekend trends drier and breezy with highs near 80 degrees, though a stray shower could still pass by.
