...Flood Watch: All of South Florida through Saturday...
...Storms with Torrential Rainfall Possible Again Today...
...Collier: Minor Coastal Flooding Impacts This Weekend...

This hazardous weather outlook is for South Florida.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT

Rip currents: High Rip Current Risk continues along the Atlantic
beaches of South Florida.

Thunderstorms: Scattered thunderstorms will continue through today
and tonight across most of South Florida. The strongest storms could
contain heavy rainfall and gusty winds this afternoon into this
evening.

Wind: The strongest thunderstorms could contain wind gusts up to 50
mph.

Flooding: Some of the showers and thunderstorms could contain heavy
rainfall which could lead to some localized flooding in urban and
poor drainage areas. A flood watch is in effect through at least
Saturday evening.

Waterspouts: Waterspouts are possible over the Gulf of Mexico
waters, Lake Okeechobee, and the Atlantic waters. A landfalling
waterspout threat along the Gulf coast is possible tonight.

Coastal Flooding: Minor flooding of beaches and low-lying vulnerable
coastal areas is possible around the times of high tide in Collier
County starting today.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY

Scattered Thunderstorms will continue across South Florida through
the remainder of the period. Periods of locally heavy rainfall could
result in flooding in some areas over the next several days. Gusty
winds may also accompany the stronger thunderstorms into the weekend.

The risk of rip currents will remain elevated at the Atlantic beaches
for the weekend. Elevated rip currents, surf, winds, and waves are
expected across Gulf waters and Gulf beaches later this weekend as
swell from Cristobal arrives.

The full moon combined with elevated surf and waves in the Gulf due
to Cristobal will lead to higher-than-normal high tides along coastal
Collier County this weekend. Minor coastal flooding is possible with
beaches and low-lying vulnerable coastal areas like docks most
likely to see impacts. The Atlantic coast could also see some minor
coastal flooding due to the higher-than-normal tides due to the full
moon and the persistent easterly flow.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation may be needed. Please relay any information about
observed severe weather and flooding to the NWS while following all
local, state, and CDC guidelines.

For more information...visit the National Weather Service in
Miami website at www.weather.gov/miami.
