SUMMARY: South Florida is experiencing storms and potential flooding despite an unusually quiet peak of hurricane season around September 10th, with little tropical development expected in the Atlantic, Caribbean, or Gulf over the next week. Current showers and storms, fueled by sunshine and moisture, are concentrated inland and along the east coast, with rain chances increasing from Sunday through Monday. Temperatures will rise into the 80s and 90s, triggering afternoon storms. Flooding is a concern due to heavy downpours in the coming days. Water conditions remain good despite a higher-than-normal full moon tide tomorrow, with no marine alerts.

While the tropics remain unusually quiet as the Atlantic hurricane season hits its peak, South Florida is expected to see rounds of showers and thunderstorms through early next week, raising the risk of localized flooding.

SUMMARY: President Donald Trump will attend the U.S. Open men’s final at Arthur Ashe Stadium on Sunday, his first appearance since 2015.
