South Florida should expect scattered showers and thunderstorms starting Wednesday afternoon, with some heavy downpours and localized flooding possible. Forecasters say the chance of rain will stay high through Thursday because of passing storms.
King tides are also returning to the region, which could bring minor coastal flooding. Rain chances drop on Friday, but winds pick up on Saturday, along with the chance of more passing storms. Lower rain chances and more sunshine are expected Sunday. High temperatures are forecast to stay near 90 degrees through early next week.
