Severe Storms and Flooding Expected in South Florida and Tampa Bay

A flood watch is in effect for Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties in South Florida, with windy, rainy, and colder weather expected throughout the weekend. Excessive rain may lead to flooding in low-lying areas, and coastal communities are preparing for potential beach erosion. The National Weather Center predicts 3 to 6 inches of rain, strong winds with gusts of 35-45 mph, and the possibility of isolated waterspouts or weak tornadoes. Lingering showers are expected on Sunday morning, followed by improved conditions next week. Power outages have been reported in Miami-Dade and Broward counties.
