South Florida will see isolated showers Friday and Saturday, followed by heavier rain and gusty winds that could arrive Sunday. CBS News Miami reported that the weather team has issued NEXT Weather alerts ahead of the storm.

The bigger concern is coastal flooding. Higher-than-normal tides are forecast to combine with the rain and wind, raising the threat of flooding in coastal areas from Sunday through Tuesday.

Residents along the coast should watch for updates on tides and flooding over the weekend. Drivers on low-lying roads near the water may face standing water during high tide, and anyone planning outdoor events or beach time this weekend should check forecasts before heading out.
