The heavy rain caused a big mess in Miami Monday, with several vehicles stalled out in floodwaters at Biscayne Boulevard and Northeast 11th Street, an area that neighbors say is prone to flooding.
City of Miami officials said they were pumping out water at locations in Mary Brickell Village, Edgewater and Northeast 55th Terrace and 7th Avenue.
As yet another 2-5" or more could fall throughout the day, some locations could end up above 10" over a four day period. Rip currents risks remain high and we are still under a small craft advisory and high surf advisory.
The rain begins to kick out Wednesday evening and we will see a big drop in rain chances late week and into the weekend. The extra sunshine will push highs back into the 80s.
