Severe Weather and Heavy Rainfall in the Plains Tonight; Heavy Rainfall and Flooding Along the East Coast of Florida

Severe thunderstorms with the potential for strong, damaging winds and a few tornadoes are expected through tonight across the central and southern Plains. Heavy rainfall may accompany these thunderstorms. Heavy rainfall will continue through tonight along the east coast of Florida and flooding will continue through Tuesday morning. Read More >

While rain chances will be on a decreasing trend this week, some shower activity is still possible at times through mid week as a slow moving disturbance lingers. However, the combination of less rainfall and receding tides throughout the week will bring a notable improvement in the coastal flooding impacts that have been observed in recent weeks, though some lingering saltwater flooding may linger in low elevation streets during times of high tide.
A Coastal Flood Advisory remains in effect for the Upper Keys and a Coastal Flood Statement is in effect for the Middle and Lower Keys. Higher high tides will run approximately 1.5 to almost 2 feet above normal in the advisory area and around 1 to 1.5 feet in the statement area. This will lead to areas where driving through saltwater may be unavoidable. Saltwater flooding of low elevation streets and lots is expected with some roads possibly becoming impassable. Storm drains will overflow and some seawalls and docks will be overtopped. Boaters will see less clearance under bridges.
