What happened
The National Weather Service issued a Coastal Flood Warning for coastal areas in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach. This warning was heightened due to rising sea levels and the risk of flooding in low-lying regions. Forecasters warned that the greatest risk is expected between Friday and Monday, coinciding with high King Tides and a weather system that could bring intense rainfall.

Why it matters
