First Alert Forecasters Tracking System's Path

Miami-Dade and Broward counties are under a severe thunderstorm warning, as the National Weather Service (NWS) warns of potential hazards, including damaging winds, torrential rainfall, and frequent lightning strikes. The storm is expected to move through the area over the next several hours. Residents are urged to take shelter immediately and monitor the latest weather updates.

According to the NWS, the storm system is expected to bring heavy downpours, with rainfall rates of up to 2 inches per hour possible. This could lead to flash flooding in low-lying areas and poor visibility on roadways. The NWS also warns of the potential for wind gusts up to 60 miles per hour, which could cause power outages and damage to property.

In addition to the heavy rain and wind, the storm is also expected to produce frequent lightning. Lightning is a serious hazard and can cause injury or death. Residents are urged to stay indoors during the storm and avoid contact with windows, doors, and metal objects.

The NWS recommends that residents monitor the latest weather updates, either through local news outlets or the NWS website. The First Alert Live Doppler radar system can be used to track the storm's movement and stay informed about its potential impact.

Residents who live in areas that are prone to flooding are urged to take precautions to protect their property. This includes moving valuables to higher ground and securing loose objects around the home.
