Waves of moderate to heavy rainfall will continue through Wednesday before a drier and brighter pattern shakes out by the weekend.
Additional heavy rain Tuesday may accelerate the flood potential in Broward and Miami-Dade, where 2-5 inches fell Monday.
Should the rain fall in palatable doses, flooding may be avoided as this likely drought-busting event jumpstarts the South Florida rainy season.
Weather alerts
Several flood advisories were issued for parts of Miami-Dade and Broward counties on Monday. Forecasters say thunderstorms will bring heavy rain, causing minor flooding in poor drainage areas and roadways.
A flash flood warning has since expired.
