Storms leave flooding in Miami as more wet weather expected in South Florida – NBC 6 South Florida
A round of severe weather left some South Florida streets flooded Tuesday morning, and forecasters were expecting more afternoon storms.
Miami Police tweeted that Biscayne Boulevard was flooded between 11th and 14th streets.
Cars and trucks were seen splashing through standing water near the Arsht Center and a construction site near the entrance to Interstate 395 in downtown Miami.
A severe thunderstorm warning had been issued for portions of Miami-Dade before it expired at 8:45 a.m., the National Weather Service in Miami said.
At one point, a wind gust of 57 mph was reported about three miles east of Liberty City.
A flood advisory was also issued for part of Miami-Dade before it expired at 9:15 a.m. A second flood advisory was issued for coastal portions of Miami-Dade including Miami Beach until 1 p.m.
By the afternoon, 40-50% of South Florida could see thunderstorms. Look for frequent lightning, gusty winds and isolated flooding.
Highs will be a hair cooler, topping out in the mid-upper-80s. You can thank the slight east breeze for the dip.
The pattern shifts starting on Wednesday and this will give us drier mornings but stormy afternoons rain chances pushing into the 60-70% range. Southwest winds will bring warmer temperatures too as 90s make a return. This will be the pattern for the rest of the week.
The models are latching onto some slightly drier air this weekend rain chances dipping below 50%.
