Miami, FL – Residents along the Florida coast are urged to exercise caution as multiple weather advisories, including a coastal flood warning and high rip current risk, remain in effect through Sunday. The National Weather Service (NWS) Miami has issued a Coastal Flood Advisory for areas like Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade counties, warning of moderate coastal flooding during high tide. Officials advise avoiding flooded roadways and heeding all beach safety instructions to minimize the risk of accidents.
According to the NWS, rip currents are expected to be particularly hazardous along Miami’s Atlantic beaches. High tides, intensified by seasonal King tides, will heighten the coastal flooding threat, especially at popular beach locations. Officials caution beachgoers to swim near lifeguards and avoid swimming alone, as strong currents could endanger even experienced swimmers.
As Tropical Depression Nineteen develops in the western Caribbean, meteorologists continue monitoring the storm’s path and potential impacts on Florida. Though it is too early to confirm any direct effect on the state, residents should stay informed on the latest forecasts from the National Hurricane Center and NWS Miami.
The five-day forecast suggests mostly sunny weather in Miami, with daytime highs reaching the upper 70s and low 80s through Sunday. Breezy conditions are expected, with wind gusts up to 18 mph. Miamians can expect mostly clear skies into the weekend, although coastal areas will face persistent flood risks and dangerous rip currents through high tide periods.
