...FLOODING POTENTIAL CONTINUES ACROSS PORTIONS OF MIAMI-DADE...

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR SOUTH FLORIDA.

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT

FLOODING: HEAVY RAIN CONTINUES TO IMPACT PORTIONS OF MIAMI-DADE
COUNTY AND WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MIDNIGHT BEFORE TRENDING DOWN.
REPORTS INDICATED FLOODED AREAS WITH WATER APPROACHING HOUSES IN
SOME AREAS AS OF 1130 PM. TOTAL RAINFALL ACCUMULATIONS ACROSS THE
AREA HAVE RANGED FROM 4 TO 8.55 INCHES FROM MIAMI-DADE THROUGH
PALM BEACH. MOST OF THE HEAVY ACTIVITY HAS TRENDED DOWN OR SHIFTED
OFF THE COAST FROM PALM BEACH TO BROWARD...HOWEVER...RAINFALL
RATES RANGING FROM 2 TO 4 INCHES PER HOUR CONTINUE ACROSS PORTIONS
OF MIAMI-DADE FROM WESTWOOD LAKES TO VIRGINIA GARDENS. AS A
RESULT...A FLASH FLOOD WARNING HAS BEEN ISSUED THROUGH 330 AM FOR
THESE AREAS IN DADE. CONSIDERING THE VERY SLOW MOVEMENT OF THIS
ACTIVITY...AN ADDITIONAL 2 TO 4 INCHES IS CERTAINLY NOT OUT OF
QUESTION THROUGH THIS TIME.

THUNDERSTORMS: SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL PERSIST INTO THE
NIGHT MAINLY ALONG THE EAST COAST METRO AREAS AND OFF THE COAST
ACROSS THE ADJACENT ATLANTIC WATERS. THE PRIMARY THREATS WILL BE
OCCASIONAL LIGHTNING STRIKES AND HEAVY RAINFALL.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY

THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
ACROSS THE INTERIOR AND EAST COAST OF SOUTH FLORIDA ONCE AGAIN ON
TUESDAY. THE MAIN IMPACTS WILL BE STRONG WINDS AND HAIL ALONG WITH
FREQUENT LIGHTNING STRIKES. THE STORMS WILL BE SLOW MOVERS...WHICH
MAY RESULT IN LOCALIZED FLOODING WHERE THE HEAVIER ACTIVITY BECOMES
CONCENTRATED.

THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE EACH DAY THROUGH THE REMAINDER
OF THE WEEK WITH LIGHTNING...GUSTY WINDS AND LOCALIZED HEAVY RAINS
BEING THE MAIN THREATS.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

WIDESPREAD SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT ANTICIPATED, HOWEVER SPOTTERS
ARE ENCOURAGED TO REPORT HEAVY RAINFALL AND FLOODING.
