.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT

Visit weather.gov/srh/tropical?office=mfl for more information on TD

Wind: Along the coast of Miami-Dade County, sustained winds could
reach 40 mph late this evening and overnight with gusts to near 50
mph. The greatest likelihood of sustained tropical storm force winds
and gusts to 60 mph will be over the Atlantic waters and Biscayne Bay
tonight.

Flooding: periods of heavy rainfall this afternoon and tonight may
lead to significant street flooding over Miami-Dade, Broward and
Palm Beach counties. Water may enter structures in a few typically
vulnerable areas. Over interior and Gulf coast areas, flooding is
also possible, mainly to streets and low-lying areas.

Rip currents: Increasing wind and surf will lead to a high risk of
rip currents for the Atlantic beaches.

Thunderstorms: Gusty winds to 40 mph will accompany showers and thunderstorms
over most of South Florida this afternoon and tonight, with higher
wind gusts of 50 to 60 mph possible along the immediate coast of
Miami-Dade County and over the Atlantic.

Tornadoes: A couple of brief tornadoes are possible over Southeast
Florida through this evening.

Waterspouts: A few waterspouts are possible through this evening
over all local waters.

Waves: Seas will build to 14 feet over the Gulf Stream waters of the
Atlantic tonight, leading to very rough and dangerous seas.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY

Tropical Depression 18 is forecast to move quickly away from the
region early Sunday morning, followed by another strong cold frontal
passage by Sunday afternoon.

Gusty northwesterly winds behind the front will lead to hazardous
conditons over the local Gulf waters, as well as continue hazardous
conditions over the local Atlantic waters, into Monday. The Atlantic
rip current risk is expected to remain moderate this weekend, with
the rip current risk over the Gulf increasing behind the front early
next week.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation may be needed.
