LIVE RADAR: Risk for flooding continues Thursday after tropical ...

A flood warning remains in effect on Thursday for both Broward and Miami-Dade counties and a flood watch has been extended into Friday as the rain threatens to continue soaking South Florida.

The region measured rainfall by the foot Wednesday afternoon as tropical downpours drenched both counties.

Through midnight, Hollywood Beach recorded over 14 inches of rain while Surfside tallied over 12.

This led to flooding from Fort Lauderdale to Aventura, with impacts extending on either side of U.S. 1.

While showers tapered off overnight, the risk for additional flooding continued Thursday as the forecast pattern changes very little. An additional 1 to 2 inches of rainfall are possible, with additional downpours to continue through Friday.

A flood watch remains in effect through Friday as any additional rainfall may induce additional flooding due to saturated ground.

This soggy stretch of weather is due to a combination of passing disturbances producing lift in the atmosphere.  

This, paired with and a seemingly limitless supply of tropical moisture running over the area, has delivered multiple days of flooding rainfall.

Looking ahead, a slightly drier trend will unfold for the weekend, allowing for lower storm chances and more sunshine.

NBC6’s Adam Berg has your forecast for today, Thursday, June 13, 2024.
