Treasure Coast - Monday November 13, 2023: Higher tidal levels are expected along South Florida's east coast and the Florida Keys due to the New Moon today, Monday, November 13.
However, these higher tidal levels will remain below flood stage in all areas except in the Florida Keys where minor coastal flooding may occur. An area of low pressure is forecast to develop over or near South Florida by midweek. This system may bring higher tidal levels due to wind-driven swells.
As a result, minor flooding is possible along coastal areas of Martin, St. Lucie, Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade, and Monroe counties between Thursday, November 16 and Saturday, November 18.
In Monroe County, coastal flooding concerns could continue into the week of November 20.
