A flood watch is in effect beginning at midnight Thursday until 6 a.m. Friday for Miami-Dade and Broward.

A coastal flood advisory is also in effect for both areas until 4 a.m. Thursday thanks to a combination of the tides along with a forecast of more than three inches of rain and a persistent easterly wind of 20 to 30 miles per hour over the next few days.

Tuesday’s high tides at Miami Harbor are at 7:25 a.m. and 7:49 p.m. while Wednesday's high tides will be at 8:11 a.m. and 8:32 p.m. The most vulnerable spots are coastal roads, parking lots, underground garages & structures and docks.
