South Florida King Tide Flooding Expected Wednesday Morning

King Tide and Saltwater Flooding

• 🌊 King tides are expected to peak on Wednesday morning in South Florida, with the next high tide rolling in between 9:30 and 11:00 a.m.
• ⚠️ Moderate saltwater flooding is anticipated along vulnerable spots of the east coast, potentially worse than the previous night.
• 🌕 The full moon phase tonight contributes to the increased tidal flooding.
• 💨 An easterly flow is exacerbating the situation by boosting potential saltwater flooding and pushing water toward the shoreline.
• 🌧️ This easterly flow is also bringing showers from the Atlantic, which could worsen existing flooding.

Tropical Storm Jerry Update

• 🌀 Tropical Storm Jerry has maximum sustained winds of 50 miles per hour and is moving west-northwest at 23 miles per hour.
• 🏝️ The storm is approximately a thousand miles east-southeast of the northern Leeward Islands, some of which are under tropical storm watches.
• ⚠️ Jerry is forecast to pass near or just north of the northern Leeward Islands, potentially bringing tropical storm conditions late Thursday into Friday.
• 📈 The storm is forecast to move northeastward over the Atlantic and is expected to become a hurricane.
• 🇧🇲 Bermuda may need to monitor the storm, though current forecasts suggest it will stay to the east. The system is still one to pay attention to until its track is precisely determined.
