Severe Flooding in South Florida as Rain Chances Increase to Start Work Week

NBC Universal, Inc.

Severe rainfall caused major flooding from Downtown Miami to North Miami, including Biscayne Boulevard Sunday evening.

Miami-Dade Police closed portions of Biscayne Boulevard starting from 10th Street to 15th Street. The roadways reopened early Monday morning.

Flooding was so bad that cars kept getting stuck and in need of towers.

"Nonstop all day. I went to make a left and didn't see the water and hit a curb," one driver told NBC 6 News.

NBC 6's Xochitl Hernandez has more on the rainfall that caused woes across South Florida this weekend.

Monday, more showers are expected. Flooding risks are anticipated in the heavier rain bands. It’ll also be windy with gusts up to 20+ mph.

There will be some dry times throughout the day as the widespread rain takes over this afternoon. Monday will be the wettest day this week before we start drying out.

Through midweek, there could be afternoon showers and storms with temps starting to warm back up into the mid-80s.

By Thanksgiving, we’re much drier with mostly to partly sunny skies anticipated with highs in the mid 80s.
