A Flood Watch remains in effect for Miami-Dade and Broward counties through Wednesday morning, June 4, 2025, as a developing area of low pressure continues to bring waves of heavy rainfall to the region.
The National Weather Service is warning residents to brace for more wet weather, with the risk of localized flooding in low-lying areas and neighborhoods with poor drainage.
Forecasts call for 1 to 3 inches of rain across the area on Tuesday, with isolated areas possibly receiving 3 to 5 inches in a short time span. Over a three-day period, some locations could see rainfall totals approaching 6 inches. While the threat of severe weather remains low, forecasters caution that some of the stronger storms could produce wind gusts up to 40 mph.
In the Upper and Middle Keys, a special weather statement was issued early Tuesday as a strong thunderstorm moved through, delivering gusty winds and heavy downpours.
Travel has already been impacted. At Miami International Airport, officials reported 242 flight delays and 117 cancellations on Monday due to stormy weather. By Tuesday morning, the airport had logged 12 cancellations and 22 delays. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport fared slightly better, reporting just one cancellation and 10 delays as of early Tuesday.
The City of North Miami is also included under the Flood Watch, and the city is urging residents to take precautions. Local officials are asking the public to:
Avoid flooded roads — “Turn Around, Don’t Drown.”
Keep storm drains clear of leaves and debris near homes and businesses.
Stay informed through local weather alerts and updates.
Residents can check for updates on the city’s official website (www.northmiamifl.gov) and the National Weather Service site (weather.gov/mfl). To report flooding, North Miami residents can contact Public Works at (305) 895-9878.
