The National Weather Service in Miami issued a Flood Advisory at 11:02 PM on Tuesday, November 3, for northern Broward County and southeastern Palm Beach County, in effect until 1 AM Wednesday. Doppler radar indicated heavy rain from thunderstorms, and minor flooding is ongoing or expected to begin shortly in the advisory area.
Between 1 and 2 inches of rain have fallen, with an additional 1 to 2 inches expected. Minor flooding is expected in low-lying and poor-drainage areas, with water possible over roadways, in places including Fort Lauderdale, Pompano Beach, Boca Raton, Deerfield Beach, Lighthouse Point, Lauderdale-By-The-Sea, Coconut Creek and Oakland Park. This follows the earlier Flood Advisory for northern Broward and the Coastal Flood Statement for Palm Beach covered by South Florida Malayalees (SFM).
The Weather Service advises: turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads — most flood deaths occur in vehicles — and do not drive on flooded roads.
