South Florida Election Day: Showers Ahead!
3 Nov
Summary
- Scattered showers and thunderstorms expected on Election Day.
- Level 2 risk for heavy rainfall and flash flooding in Broward.
- Coastal Flood Advisory and Small Craft Advisory in effect.
Voters in South Florida can expect scattered showers and thunderstorms on Election Day. While not as intense as Monday's storms, a Level 2 risk for heavy rainfall and potential flash flooding is present for Broward and northern Miami-Dade counties.
These conditions, combined with saturated ground, could lead to localized flooding in low-lying areas. A Coastal Flood Advisory remains active until 7 p.m., coinciding with high tide times around 4 p.m. in Fort Lauderdale and Miami, and 6 p.m. in Key West.
Additionally, east winds of 10 to 15 mph with gusts up to 20 mph are creating hazardous coastal conditions, including a high risk of dangerous rip currents. A Small Craft Advisory is also in effect for Atlantic waters due to choppy conditions.
Looking ahead, spotty showers are possible Wednesday, with rain chances decreasing late in the week. High temperatures will be in the mid-80s, rising to the upper 80s by Thursday and Friday. A cold front expected over the weekend will bring lower humidity and cooler temperatures, with highs settling into the low 80s and overnight lows in the upper 60s.
