A dry, pleasant Sunday is expected across South Florida as a weak front moves south and high pressure builds in, according to WSVN 7News weather. The front produced a few showers near the coast late Saturday.
The main concern is a return of king tides. The new moon, due Monday, brings the moon closer to Earth, which strengthens tidal flow and pushes high tides above normal levels.
Coastal Broward and coastal Miami-Dade are under flood statements, the early alerts that often come before advisories. Roadways and property could flood around the peak high tides, which occur twice a day. Low-lying and poorly drained spots near the coast are most at risk.
Forecasters advise drivers not to enter any water-covered road and to take another route. Saltwater flooding is also expected in the Florida Keys, where flood statements are likely to be upgraded to advisories.
