Florida, Inland Broward County

Areal Flood Watch

Statement as of 9:06 AM EST on March 12, 2010

Expires 7:00 PM EST on March 12, 2010


... Flood Watch in effect until 7 PM EST this evening...

The National Weather Service in Miami has expanded the

* Flood Watch to include the following areas... coastal
Broward... coastal Collier... coastal Miami Dade... far South
Miami Dade... inland Broward... inland Collier... inland Miami
Dade... Mainland Monroe... Metro Broward and Metro Miami Dade.

* Until 7 PM EST this evening

* a boundary currently located west to east between Alligator
alley and Tamiami Trail could serve as the focusing mechanism
for heavy rains to develop across the area later today. An
additional area of rainfall is likely to move across the area
from the Gulf of Mexico. Although rainfall amounts are forecast
to be in the 1 t0 3 inch range... moisture amounts in the
atmosphere are running much higher than normal. The slow moving
boundary in combination with additional moisture moving in from
the Gulf means that the possibility exists for very heavy
rainfall to develop across portions of the area today. This
could lead to local rainfall amounts much higher than forecast
which could result in flooding.

Therefore... given this possibility and the uncertainty with the
forecast a Flood Watch is now in effect for the area through 7
PM tonight.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding.

You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible
flood warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be
prepared to take action should flooding develop.
