Heavy rainfall will swamp South Florida for a third day in a row on Thursday, threatening more destructive flooding after Wednesday’s storms transformed roads into canals and caused water to seep into homes.

Part of South Florida – including Miami – is under a rare level 4 of 4 high risk of flooding rainfall Thursday, according to the Weather Prediction Center.
“Significant flash flooding (is) expected over urban areas, (with) locally catastrophic flash flooding possible.

High risk days are exceedingly rare — happening on fewer than 4% of days each year on average — but account for more than 80% of all flood damage and more than a third of all flood deaths in the US.

Flooding threats will ramp up again quickly once rain starts to fall Thursday afternoon. More than 8 million people are under flood alerts Thursday, including Fort Lauderdale, Miami and Naples. Another 4 to 8 inches of widespread rain is expected through Friday, but it’s possible some spots record nearly a foot of rain.

Six to more than 20 inches of rain has deluged South Florida since Tuesday morning, prompting Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to declare a state of emergency for Broward, Collier, Lee, Miami-Dade and Sarasota counties. While the state is no stranger to drenching rain, heavy rain events are getting even heavier as the world warmsdue to fossil fuel pollution.
Ongoing flooding resulting from past rainfall is one of the main reasons the flood risk is so high Thursday.

Floodwaters haven’t had time to fully recede and some communities in and north of the Miami metro remained underwater Thursday morning, areal imagery showed.
That was the case in Hallandale Beach – located just north of Miami – where nearly 20 inches of rain had fallen, and some mobile home parks were still underwater, said Broward County Sheriff’s Office Fire Rescue Battalion Chief Michael Kane.
Severe flooding there on Wednesday submerged cars up to their windshields, forcing some drivers to abandon their stalled-out vehicles and wade to safety. Others had to be rescued.
