MIAMI, Florida - Minor coastal flooding associated with enhanced astronomical tides (King tides) during September's Full Moon will be possible from Sunday morning through at least Wednesday afternoon for Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade counties, according to the National Weather Service in Miami.

There is also the potential of waterspouts across South Florida waters today.

Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms are expected this afternoon across South Florida, with the highest chances over the interior and southeast coast metro areas on Monday, September 16, 2024, according to the National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center.

The thunderstorms may bring relief from the excessive heat where peak heat index values of 104 to 107 degrees will be possible from late morning into the afternoon across most of South Florida.

A Heat Advisory is in effect for Broward and Miami-Dade counties through 6PM.

Tuesday through Sunday

Scattered thunderstorms will be possible daily, with primary threats of gusty winds, frequent lightning, and heavy downpours.

Peak heat index values will remain near 105 degrees through the early week period.

There will be an elevated risk for rip currents for the Atlantic beaches through the early week period as high amplitude northerly swell moves into the area.

Minor coastal flooding will also be possible during high tide cycles through mid-week due to the enhanced northerly swell and king tides.
