WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Tropical moisture could bring heavy rainfall this week, prompting a flood watch for Palm Beach County starting at midnight Tuesday through Wednesday evening.
The flood watch also extends to Broward and Miami-Dade counties but not the Treasure Coast.
Forecasters said that the heavy rainfall could produce excessive runoff and may result in flooding of low-lying areas, areas with poor drainage and flood-prone locations.
More rain is expected Monday afternoon with hot temperatures.
Afternoon highs will once again warm up to the lower 90s under mostly sunny skies to kick off your workweek. Scattered showers and storms are in the forecast after 1 p.m. today.
It will not be a washout, so take advantage of the dry periods while we have them because we are in for a rainy week.
