NEXT Weather Alert: Gusty winds, heavy rain and local flooding to hit South Florida
The NEXT Weather Alert for Saturday has been canceled, but be prepared for another NEXT Weather Alert for Sunday and Monday.
Scattered storms will develop around midday Saturday. Some of the storms could turn strong to severe with the potential for damaging gusty winds, heavy rain, localized flooding, small hail and frequent lightning due to a frontal boundary, plenty of moisture and instability in the atmosphere.
The Storm Prediction Center has placed South Florida at a marginal (level 1 out of 5) risk of severe weather today.
The rain chance is higher on Sunday. Scattering to widespread storms are possible, with the potential for heavy downpours and localized flooding. Because of this, the NEXT Weather team has issued another NEXT Weather Alert for Sunday and Monday.
As the frontal boundary stalls, we remain unsettled with high rain chances through the middle of next week. Once drier, Saharan air moves in late next week, the rain chance will decrease a bit.
