Established easterly flow, combined with plentiful low-level moisture, allowed for scattered showers and a few thunderstorms to develop over the Atlantic waters during the morning. These showers/storms moved onshore along the east coast metro during the morning hours. Heavy rainfall rates lead to flooding of streets across areas of Miami-Dade Counties, especially with antecedent soil conditions from prior days rainfall. High tides also contributed to minor coastal flooding across the area.
