Flood Watch is in effect for several counties in South Florida, including Miami-Dade, coastal, and metro Broward, and coastal and metro Palm Beach. The watch is expected to continue through Thursday evening due to the potential for flash flooding caused by heavy and intense downpours across the region. The heavy rainfall could lead to localized flash flooding and the accumulation of water in low-lying areas. In addition to the flood risk, there is a moderate danger of rip currents along Atlantic beaches. While there is no organized threat for flash flooding, the development of showers and thunderstorms during the peak heating hours of the day in South Florida may result in heavy downpours. Motorists are urged to exercise caution and drive safely as flooding has already been reported in some areas.
