South Florida Faces Periodic Downpours, Local Flood Risk as Gabrielle Stays Offshore

Forecasters say inland thunderstorms dominate the week.

Overview

  • Rain chances run near 60% Monday, 50% Tuesday, then around 40% through late week, according to the National Weather Service.
  • Localized flooding remains the primary concern due to repeated heavy showers over short periods, especially across inland areas with poor drainage.
  • Hurricane Gabrielle is a Category 3 system tracking east of Bermuda toward the northeastern Atlantic with no direct land impacts in current guidance.
  • Two additional tropical waves are being watched, one with about a 70% development chance in the central Atlantic and another near the Leeward Islands around 40%, and any impacts to South Florida remain uncertain.
  • Coastal concerns include possible king-tide flooding if downpours overlap high tides, with 2–3 foot seas and a low rip current risk reported along the Treasure Coast, and cloud cover keeping highs in the upper 80s and lows in the mid-70s.
