South Florida faces marginal flood threat with more moving showers, thunderstorms

NORTH MIAMI, Fla. – More moving showers and thunderstorms present a marginal flood threat Sunday in South Florida.

There may be pockets of flooding. North Miami received nearly 5 inches of rain on Saturday, and drivers went through flooded streets Sunday morning. South Florida will be much drier for South Florida from Monday to at least Thursday.

A coastal flood statement was in effect until late Sunday night in Monroe County’s Upper Keys region warning about minor saltwater flooding — less than a foot above ground level. Some storm drains will overflow, and seawalls and docks will be overtopped. Boaters can expect less clearance under fixed bridges.

Local 10 News Weather Authority meteorologists are tracking a system embedded in an environment that doesn’t favor development yet.
