This hazardous weather outlook is for South Florida. .DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT Rip currents: A northeast long-period swell from Tropical Depression Erin will lead to a High Risk of Rip Currents along the Palm Beaches today. A moderate risk of rip currents is forecast for the Miami- Dade and Broward beaches. Coastal Flooding: Minor coastal flooding will be possible along the east coast beaches at high tide this evening due to the new moon and increased northeast swell. Thunderstorms: Scattered to widespread thunderstorms are expected across South Florida this afternoon, with the greatest coverage over the interior. The primary hazards will be heavy rainfall, gusty winds, and lightning. Waterspouts: Isolated waterspouts are possible across all South Florida waters. Flooding: Heavy rainfall will be possible with showers and thunderstorms today. Slow moving storms may lead to the threat for ponding of water along streets and in low lying areas.

The main hazards will be lightning, locally heavy rainfall, and gusty winds. A long-period northeasterly swell moving through the local Atlantic waters will bring an increased rip current risk to the east coast. The New Moon and increased swell will continue to bring elevated tidal levels to the East Coast beaches into this weekend. Minor coastal flooding will be possible at high tides. There is an increased chance for flooding Friday and potentially Saturday due to widespread showers and thunderstorms across the area. Hurricane Dorian may potentially approach and affect the Florida Peninsula later in the holiday weekend. It is still too soon to know the finer details of the potential impacts to South Florida. Please continue to monitor the progress of Dorian through the week. Now is a good time to make sure your household hurricane plan is in order. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
