Headline

.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.
