The National Weather Service in Miami issued a Flash Flood Warning at 8:57 PM on Tuesday, November 3, for northern Broward County, in effect until 11 PM. Doppler radar indicated thunderstorms producing heavy rain across the warned area, and flash flooding is ongoing or expected to begin shortly.
Between 2 and 3 inches of rain have fallen, with an additional 1 to 2 inches possible. Flash flooding of small creeks and streams, urban areas, highways, streets, underpasses and other low-lying areas is expected in places including Fort Lauderdale, Pompano Beach, Deerfield Beach, Lighthouse Point, Coconut Creek and Oakland Park. The warning escalates the earlier Flood Advisory for northern Broward; South Florida Malayalees (SFM) is also tracking a Coastal Flood Statement for Broward and Miami-Dade.
The Weather Service advises: turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads — most flood deaths occur in vehicles — and be especially cautious at night, when flooding dangers are harder to recognize.
