worst of the weather. You may think, has ended. But we have another round this afternoon.
Those Flooded roads leaving
people and cars stranded and out
in the middle of street and
highways. We have seen of cars
still stuck even this morning.
Good morning. South We are
interrupting. Good America for
our continuing coverage of the
rainfall that has led to bad
flooding across south florida.

for the long haul. We so much to
get to this morning to keep safe

and definitely aren’t sending
the kids to school in county
stay home and stay safe because
here’s what it looks like. Live
pictures from, Fort Lauderdale.
This is on Broward Boulevard
just west of I-95. You Can see
plenty of people trying walk
through those flooded roadways.
And that’s where many are
getting. Yeah, you see that BMW
on the right corner of your
screen that wasn’t there about
15, 20 minutes ago. So people to
try and push their luck to get
those flooded roads and they are
the price. So sorry live picture
right now from Hollywood. This
is still Road and Park Road and
things are slow. Continue to get
out there. Of course, folks
recommend at home if you do not
have to go out and go through
these flooded streets. It’s a
mess. Even at the airport live
pictures from Fort Lauderdale,
Hollywood International Airport
right now where the tarmac is
flooded out. And we do know
fellow is closed. There the
pictures right there. We are
anticipate and opening at noon 5
hours from now. But it will be
touch and go. We’ll have to see
if that actually happen. But we
tell you that the that the day
is it the departures area is
open, you need to pick up
friends and family. But it’s
going to be a mess there. The
arrivals area still shut down.
No bells ringing this morning.
Schools in Broward County, they
are closed. They sent out this
tweet late last saying due to
inclement weather, all Broward
schools and district are closed
today. So that includes after
school activities,
extracurriculars They have been
canceled. They getting reports
of students and staffers stuck
getting reports of potential
issues. Structurally, they’ve
got a lot to work through here
today julie, as they try to
figure out will happen tomorrow
in Broward because the rain is
pause for a moment but is going
to continue on today about when
Julie what are we going to see.
It looks as though this
afternoon, eric jason in south
florida, we will have another of
relentless and relentless is the
word we can use because it’s
been that way since Sunday and
now we’ve had so much rain and
many consecutive days. We’ve
continued that flood watch,
which is no surprise as we
talked about that yesterday for
Broward and Dade. But embedded
in that watch, we do have the
flood warning for hardest hit
area of. Fort Lauderdale,
Lauderhill, Fort Lauderdale,
Broward Boulevard. Also the way
south towards Dania Beach,
Hollywood, Griffin Road, this is
from the turnpike all the way to
A-1 and 95 and this is why my
graphic you exactly what you
just saw we have cars stranded
and basically a lake of water
that was street Broward
Boulevard right. Well look I
have an estimated 12 inches of
rain that fell yesterday, just
over 12 inches my radar estimate
, 17 inches by Fort Lauderdale
International Airport, over
seven inches in the turnpike
over parts of Griffin Sheridan,
Hollywood, all Of these areas,
really the hardest hit. But
everybody did see downpours. The
problem is we’ve had consecutive
days of heavy rain over
saturated ground and water has
nowhere to go but up. Therefore,
the ponding continues. Now,
unfortunately, we’re expecting
more rain move in as we see the
shower. That’s now over Ives
dairy road a one a U.S. one
Aventura Sunny Isles and right
over Northeast 123rd Street into
Surfside that Cheryl
unfortunately is going to live
to the over Dania Beach that
doesn’t need more rain. My
forecast for afternoon showers
and storms in the forecast for
broward. Miami dade, a bull’s
eye for the area that already
hit hard yesterday and the past
days. Unfortunately accompanied
with those storms will be gusty.
Winds Well. The Storm Prediction
Center has put Broward County
under the slight risk of severe
we’re talking heavy rain. So
more we’re talking damaging
winds small hail and funnel
clouds. And Miami Dade, you’re
not out of the woods. Could see
a marginal threat for some these
storms to become severe. I’ll
have more on all this and look
at the radar yesterday that
