Issued by NWS Key West FL

What

The next round of high tides will reach near 1.5 to 2 feet above mean higher high water.

Where

Upper Keys.

When

Through Wednesday morning.

Impacts

Saltwater flooding of low elevation streets and lots is expected. Some storm drains will overflow, and some seawalls and docks will be overtopped. Boaters can expect less clearance under fixed bridges. Motorists should remember that persistent puddles around the times of high tide are almost certain to contain a mix of saltwater.

What to Do

If travel is required, allow extra time as some roads may be closed. Do not drive around barricades or through water of unknown depth. Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property.


Areas Impacted

  • Monroe Upper Keys

Tips to Stay Safe

A Flood Advisory is issued when flooding may cause significant inconvenience, or even become dangerous if you are not careful. Know your risk at home, work and school, and use caution when flooding is expected. 

  • Be aware of low-lying areas along your travel routes that are most likely to flood. 
  • Check road conditions before traveling, and obey road closures and barricades. 
  • Never walk, swim, or drive through flood waters.

Showers and Thunderstorms Tonight

Created by the NWS Miami WFO

Scattered to numerous showers and storms across much of South Florida this evening before diminishing in activity overnight. Localized flooding is likely, especially with slow-moving storms and consecutive rounds of heavy rain. Widespread saturated soils will make drainage difficult, particularly for low-lying, poor-drainage areas.
