Miami Sunday Morning Weather: Flood Watch Opens at 10 A.M., With a High Near 83 and Rain at 45 Percent

Miami's first morning on standard time began at 77.1 degrees, feeling like 82.6, under an overcast sky, according to the station's live weather feed read at 5:27 a.m. CT. Sunday's high is 82.9 degrees with a low of 73.3, and the feed's daily line has eased overnight: drizzle (code 51) with a 45 percent precipitation chance, down from the 58 to 60 percent readings the overnight files carried.

The Flood Watch does not ease with the feed. A flood watch covers Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties from 10 a.m. EST Sunday through Monday afternoon, according to reporting on the National Weather Service watch read in full this morning. Scattered east-coast locations could receive three to five inches of rain, with isolated totals of five to seven inches, and the Weather Service identifies possible street flooding and road closures, especially if heavy rain overlaps with high tide.

Monday is now the feed's wettest day: rain showers (code 82) at a 70 percent chance, a high of 79.4 and a low of 72.1. Election Day Tuesday keeps a thunderstorm (code 95) at 64 percent, with a high of 81.8. The pattern then dries: Wednesday showers at 28 percent, drizzle Thursday and Friday at 21 and 14 percent, and a mostly dry, overcast Saturday at 7 percent.

For the final day of early voting and an afternoon of football, the practical read is unchanged from overnight - a wet trip is possible at any hour, low streets can hold water around high tide, and no one should plan Sunday around the feed's lower percentage alone while a flood watch is in effect.
