Voters across South Florida heading to the polls Tuesday, Nov. 3, should bring umbrellas. Forecasters expect scattered showers and thunderstorms, though rain is not expected to be as widespread or intense as Monday’s storms.
A Level 2 risk for excessive rainfall and flash flooding remains in effect for Broward County and northern Miami-Dade County. Saturated ground could lead to localized flooding in low-lying areas.
A Coastal Flood Advisory runs until 7 p.m. because of saltwater flooding during high tide, which is around 4 p.m. in Fort Lauderdale and Miami and closer to 6 p.m. in Key West. East winds of 10 to 15 mph, with gusts up to 20 mph, are also creating a high risk of dangerous rip currents along Atlantic beaches. A Small Craft Advisory covers Atlantic waters, with choppy conditions on the bays.
Highs Tuesday afternoon will reach the mid-80s under partly sunny skies. Showers are still possible Wednesday, with rain chances falling later in the week.
A cold front is forecast to move through over the weekend, bringing lower humidity and drier weather. Overnight lows are expected to drop into the upper 60s, with daytime highs in the low 80s Saturday and Sunday, along with isolated showers.
