Miami Weather: Coastal Flood Advisory Until 8 PM Friday
A Coastal Flood Advisory is in effect for Miami until 8:00 PM EDT Friday, as king tides continue — moderate coastal flooding is possible around high tides, so do not drive around barricades or through water of unknown depth, and protect flood-prone property. A Rip Current Statement is also in effect through 8:00 PM tonight — dangerous rip currents are possible at Atlantic beaches, so swim near a lifeguard. The good news: South Florida gets more sunshine and less rain today after days of king tide flooding, ahead of a humid Halloween.
