National Weather Service meteorologist Larry Kelly tells the Miami Herald the highest tide window will occur around 11 p.m. Friday. The King Tide coupled with rainfall from the tropical system could create a drainage problem along low-lying areas of the coast.
The system could bring 2 to 3 inches of rain to parts of South Florida between Thursday and Saturday.
Kelly says South Florida is in the midst of the season's first king tide and the next one is at the end of August.
