Welcome to Florida… were you pay like if you live in a place with good drainage, security and no traffic. I have 2 water pumps working since last night, I’m Inland. No coast close to me. Miami 33155.









The rain has ended here in Broward County, but we’re still flooded. After more than a foot of rain the past couple of days, this could take well into the afternoon to go down. #FLwx


75 mph wind gusts have been measured at the port locations of Miami Beach and Dania Beach! #FLwx

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
100 PM EST Wed Nov 15 2023

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

1. Southwestern Caribbean Sea:
Disorganized showers and thunderstorms persist in association with a 
trough of low pressure located in the southwestern Caribbean Sea. 
Environmental conditions appear marginally conducive for development 
of this system over the next couple of days, and a tropical 
depression could form by this weekend as the system starts moving 
northeastward across the western and central part of the Caribbean 
Sea. An Air Force Reserve reconnaissance mission is scheduled to 
investigate the system tomorrow. 

Regardless of development, this system is expected to produce heavy 
rains that could result in flash flooding and mudslides over 
portions of the Caribbean coast of Central America and the Greater 
Antilles through this weekend. Interests in Jamaica, Cuba, Haiti, 
the Dominican Republic, the southeastern Bahamas, and the Turks and 
Caicos Islands should continue to monitor the progress of this 
system. 
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...40 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...50 percent.

2. Offshore Southeast Coast of United States:
A non-tropical area of low pressure is expected to form near 
southern Florida along a frontal boundary by tomorrow. This system 
is then forecast to move quickly northeastward across the Bahamas 
and offshore of the east coast of the U.S. through the weekend. 
Although development into a tropical cyclone appears unlikely, this 
system is expected to produce gusty winds and heavy rains across 
portions of southern Florida, the Florida Keys, and the Bahamas 
during the next couple of days.  For more information on this 
system, including gale warnings, see High Seas Forecasts issued by 
the National Weather Service.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...10 percent.

   Areas affected...portions of the Florida Keys

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely 

   Valid 151751Z - 152015Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

   SUMMARY...A brief tornado/waterspout is possible over the Florida
   Keys over the next few hours. A WW issuance is not expected.

   DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms have been percolating in intensity over
   the past few hours around the FL Keys, some of which have shown
   occasional instances of transient low-level rotation. Mid-level
   lapse rates remain poor over the region. However, the combination of
   surface heating amid mid 70s F surface dewpoints should support
   500-1000 J/kg of tall and thin SBCAPE through the afternoon.
   Coinciding the buoyancy axis should be increasing 850 mb flow, which
   would support modestly curved low-level hodographs. As such, the
   stronger, more persistent thunderstorms should continue to exhibit
   at least brief periods of low-level rotation and a tornado (or
   tornadic waterspout) remains possible around the FL Keys through the
   afternoon hours. The tornado threat however is quite sparse, so a
   Tornado Watch issuance is not anticipated.
