Miami Weather: Coastal Flood Advisory Until 7 PM Sunday
A Coastal Flood Advisory is in effect for coastal Miami-Dade until 7:00 PM EST Sunday (NWS Miami, issued 3:35 AM EDT Saturday), as king tides continue — moderate coastal flooding is expected around high tides, with flooding of lots, parks and roads and only isolated road closures expected, so do not drive around barricades or through water of unknown depth, and allow extra time. Saturday’s high tide at Government Cut is at 1:12 PM. A high rip current risk is also in effect through 7:00 AM Monday — dangerous rip currents are possible at Atlantic beaches, so swim only near a lifeguard. Halloween night is looking soggy for trick-or-treaters, with showers turning to scattered thunderstorms this evening. See South Florida Halloween forecast looking soggy for trick-or-treaters.
