What happened
Scattered showers and strong thunderstorms have impacted parts of South Florida, with isolated flooding being possible in the region. Severe storms across Martin and Palm Beach counties led to two Flood Advisories in southeastern Palm Beach County.
Why it matters
The increasing frequency of flooding is driving a surge in the market for flood protection products, such as custom-built barriers and impact windows. However, federal regulations and the Florida Building Code restrict single-family homeowners in flood zones from installing permanent flood barriers.
General weather patterns are affecting regional conditions in Palm Beach County and South Florida.
