South Florida weather: Afternoon storms in the forecast again
MIAMI -- Another round of wet weather is in the forecast Thursday for South Florida.
The National Weather Service issued a flood advisory for parts of Miami-Dade County just west of Kendall because of the storms moving through the region. A severe thunderstorm warning was in effect until 2:30 p.m. for parts of Broward and Miami-Dade.
CBS News Miami meteorologist Cindy Preszler said the warning included several areas like Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Davie, and near the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.
The storm system was moving to the north at 5 miles per hour, Preszler said.
"These storms have been strengthening this afternoon," she said, adding that the systems could produce some funnel clouds as they trek through the region.
NEXT Weather meteorologist Dave Warren said there is a 60 percent chance of rain during the afternoon and evening hours before the precipitation tapers off.
"There will be early evening showers but after that, things wind down," he said.
The high temperature is expected to top out in the upper 80s with lows ranging in the mid-70s.
There is also a chance for rain in the forecast on Friday but they drop over the weekend.
The long weekend starts with showers and storms moving through the area mainly in the afternoon before slightly drier air starts to work into the area.
Spotty storms are expected Sunday and Monday with temperatures climbing up to 90 degrees.
An area of low pressure which my bring the drier air into South Florida has a low development potential as it remains nearly stationary over the weekend.
Even without any type of development it is expected to bring heavy rain to the Carolinas, Georgia, and northern Florida.
