Flood Watch issued June 4 at 2:35AM EDT until June 4 at 5:00PM EDT by NWS Miami FL
Event:
Flood Watch
Urgency:
Future
Effective:
June 3, 2025 - 11:35pm
Expires:
June 4, 2025 - 2:00pm
Description:
An upper low and associated surface wave will begin moving north
today. This will bring a gradual end to the rainy period we've had
across south Florida over the past few days. Guidance is having a
difficult time resolving the evolution of storms in this tropical
environment without a coherent surface focus. However, it is
correctly noting the threat for banding features and heavy rainfall.
While there is extreme uncertainty whether heavy rain will impact
many land areas today, the environment is favorable for heavy rain
and localized flooding should a banding feature set up over land.
The most probable areas for this to happen, and cause a flooding
issue, would be the metros of Miami-Dade and Broward counties. Thus,
the flood watch will continue through this afternoon for those
locations.
* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be
possible.
* WHERE...A portion of southeast Florida, including the following
areas, Coastal Broward County, Coastal Miami Dade County, Metro
Broward County and Metropolitan Miami Dade.
* WHEN...Through this afternoon.
* IMPACTS...Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- While scattered storms capable of producing a quick 1 to 2
inches will be most common today, there is the potential for
a band of storms to impact the same location with heavy rain
multiple times. Should this occur, a quick 4 to 6 inches of
rainfall is not out of the question.
