Weather Alert in Florida
Flood Watch issued June 3 at 7:58PM EDT until June 4 at 8:00AM EDT by NWS Miami FL
AREAS AFFECTED: Metro Broward County; Inland Miami-Dade County; Metropolitan Miami Dade; Coastal Broward County; Coastal Miami Dade County; Far South Miami-Dade County
DESCRIPTION: A developing area of low pressure will bring the chance for additional rounds of heavy rainfall across southeast Florida overnight and early Wednesday morning. While this pattern tends to come with a great deal of uncertainty regarding timing and placement of the highest rain amounts, given yesterday's rainfall and the potential for the same areas to be impacted, the probability of localized flash flooding is high enough to continue the watch overnight. The threat of localized flash flooding has diminished across Southwest Florida, so the watch has been cancelled for Collier and Mainland Monroe Counties. * WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible. * WHERE...A portion of southeast Florida, including the following areas, Coastal Broward County, Coastal Miami Dade County, Far South Miami-Dade County, Inland Miami-Dade County, Metro Broward County and Metropolitan Miami Dade. * WHEN...Through Wednesday morning. * IMPACTS...Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
INSTRUCTION: You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding develop.

Freezing rain is a condition where precipitation which has fallen in the form of
water droplets reaches temperatures which are below freezing and freezes upon
coming into contact
with surface objects. The result of this precipitation is a glaze of ice which
can be damaging to plants and man-made structures. A severe onset of freezing
rain which results in a very thick glaze of ice is known as an ice storm.

Next Topic: Hole Punch Clouds
Hail is a form of precipitation which is recognized by large solid balls or
clumps of ice. Hail is created by thunderstorm clouds with strong updrafts of wind.
As the hailstones remain in the updraft, ice is deposited onto them until their
weight becomes heavy enough for them to fall to the earth's surface.
Hail storms can cause significant damage to crops, aircrafts, and man-made structures,
despite the fact that the duration is usually less than ten minutes.
