South Florida Storms Could Bring Up to 4 Inches of Rain, Flooded Roads Tonight

MIAMI, Fla. — South Florida is bracing for heavy rain and potential flooding tonight as slow-moving thunderstorms track across the region.

Up to 4 Inches of Rain Possible

The National Weather Service in Miami forecasts rainfall totals of 1 to 2 inches across Miami-Dade, Broward, and the Keys, with isolated pockets seeing 3 to 4 inches in just a few hours. The intense downpours could quickly overwhelm storm drains and flood low-lying streets.

Flooding Threatens Major Roads

Officials warn that flooding could impact busy corridors, including I-95, the Palmetto Expressway, and other high-traffic routes. Drivers in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and West Palm Beach should prepare for delays, reduced visibility, and dangerous ponding on roads.

Authorities urge residents to “turn around, don’t drown” when encountering flooded intersections.

Storm Pattern to Continue

The unsettled weather is expected to linger into the evening before tapering overnight. However, more scattered storms are possible midweek as tropical moisture remains in place across the region.
