Active AlertsMonroe Middle Keys

Coastal Flood Statement

Issued at Wed 10:37 PM Apr. 8
Issued by: National Weather Service
Description

What: Minor saltwater flooding.
Where: Upper and Middle Florida Keys.
When: Through late tonight.
Impacts: Minor saltwater flooding of low elevation streets and lots is likely. Some storm drains will overflow, and some seawalls and docks will be overtopped. Boaters can expect less clearance under fixed bridges. Motorists should remember that persistent puddles around the times of high tide are almost certain to contain a mix of saltwater.
Additional Details: Strong to gale force winds north of the Florida Keys are generating enhanced swell along the western coastline of Florida. The swell, in turn, is causing elevated waters along the Middle and Upper Keys.

Recommended Action

Do not drive through flooded roadways.
