South Florida Floods: Risk Rises This Weekend

South Florida is bracing for an increase in showers and thunderstorms, with the National Weather Service issuing warnings for potential flooding. An "unsettled weather pattern" began bringing these conditions to the region starting May 27. Residents in the east coast metro areas should be particularly aware of a marginal risk for flash flooding on May 28.

The threat of "significant localized flooding" is expected to continue throughout the weekend. While isolated to scattered showers are forecast for Wednesday, concentrating in the southwest during the afternoon, some morning showers are still possible for the east coast metro. These weather events precede the start of the Atlantic hurricane season on June 1, which runs through November 30.
