More rain is coming. These parts of Broward County are under a flood advisory

Parts of Broward County are under a flood advisory Wednesday morning, according to the National Weather Service in Miami.

Slow-moving thunderstorms have dumped 2 to 3 inches of rain since early morning, with another 2 to 4 inches on the way, according to the agency. The flood advisory is in effect until 1:15 p.m.

If rainfall exceeds expectations, a flash flood warning may be issued.

“A Flood Advisory is issued when flooding is not expected to be bad enough to issue a warning. However, it may cause significant inconvenience, and if caution is not exercised, it could lead to situations that may threaten life and/or property,” according to the National Weather Service Miami.

A flash flood warning is issued when a flash flood is imminent or occurring.

The current conditions are a result of two factors: air that’s moister than usual and a weather pattern that has winds on the East Coast colliding from different directions instead of moving the same way, said Luke Culver, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service Miami. That clash of winds creates a zone where showers and thunderstorms are forming and moving very slowly, Culver added.

Areas that are already feeling the soggy effects as minor flooding sneaks into low-lying spots and streets with poor drainage include:

▪ Fort Lauderdale

▪ Hollywood

▪ Miramar

▪ Davie

▪ Plantation

▪ Sunrise

▪ Tamarac

▪ Margate

▪ Lauderdale-By-The-Sea

▪ Lauderhill

▪ Coconut Creek

▪ Lauderdale Lakes

▪ Dania Beach

▪ Wilton Manors

Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue said on the social media platform X that heavy rain has led to street flooding on various roadways and urged drivers to use caution.

If you’re out and about, remember: Don’t test your luck on flooded roads. Most flood-related accidents happen when drivers think they can make it through.
