South Florida Faces King Tides & Wildfire Smoke
28 Sep
Summary
- King tide saltwater flooding continues Monday along South Florida's coast.
- A wildfire west of US 27 in Broward County is burning 25 acres.
- Pleasant temperatures will give way to heat and daily rain chances.
Coastal areas of South Florida are contending with continuing king tide saltwater flooding on Monday. A coastal flood advisory is active until 2 p.m. as moderate flooding is anticipated during high tide periods. The king tides are expected to reach their peak on Monday, coinciding with the recent full moon.
Residents might also notice smoke from the Alpha Sierra Fire, an active wildfire in western Broward County. This fire has consumed 25 acres and is currently 0% contained. Smoke may be visible or detectable due to northwest and west winds. The winds are forecast to shift to the south later.
Following a comfortable start to the week with temperatures in the low to mid-70s, afternoon highs are projected to reach around 90 degrees Fahrenheit. This dry weather is a precursor to increased moisture, leading to higher chances of scattered showers and storms expected from Tuesday onward, with high temperatures climbing into the upper 80s.
