Severe thunderstorms are coming, but will they stay for Noche Buena and Christmas?
The east coast of South Florida is expected to experience severe thunderstorms and flooding Sunday night through mid-morning Monday, meteorologists say.
The heavy rain is expected to start before midnight Sunday and continue until around 10 a.m. Monday, just in time for the holidays, federal forecasters told the Miami Herald.
“After the thunderstorms, there will be showers, a windy breeze, and inclement weather,” said Sean Miller, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service. “The rest of the week is expected to be fairly quiet, just in time for Christmas Eve and Christmas day.”
High temperatures will remain in the 70s and lows will stay in the 60s through Wednesday. In addition to flooding, the east coast of South Florida will also be at risk of tornadoes, Miller added.
