FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — A tropical storm warning was lifted late Saturday morning for western parts of Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties but remains in effect east of Interstate 95.
The last of the “heavy” rainbands will pass over South Florida early Saturday afternoon, bringing the possibility of gusts of 40-55 mph, the National Weather Service in Miami said. Heavy rainfall and flooding will linger through the afternoon.
The swirl of violent weather expected to form Tropical Storm Alex began crossing South Florida Saturday morning, keeping most residents indoors and stranding drivers attempting to plow through flooded streets.
