South Florida is in the middle of the highest king tides ever recorded here. This morning reached the same major flood stage as Hurricane Wilma in 2005 sending water down streets from Miami to Fort Lauderdale and even flowed into some homes and businesses that weren't sandbagged.

SpaceX changed its launch trajectory for their Falcon 9 rocket and it could put on an even better show for Florida and the Bahamas! Look out for the one hour launch window that begins at 6:30am Tuesday.

The rain really hasn’t stopped over the last 45 minutes, but all appears fine to start on time, as long as the lightning stays away.
Steady rain still falling over Hard Rock Stadium as Canes players start some pre/game work on the field.

🚨 EXTENSIVE STORM SURGE DAMAGE – PENSACOLA BEACH, FL! 🌊⚠️ The aftermath of Hurricane Isaias is incredible across Pensacola Beach, Florida! Thick layers of sand cover many roads after powerful storm surge pushed water and debris inland. Damaged homes, missing roofs, partially collapsed structures, half-sunken boats, downed power lines, and scattered debris paint a devastating picture of the hurricane's impacts. Evidence of significant coastal flooding can be seen throughout the area. 🎥 Footage available for media licensing: [email protected] #HurricaneIsaias #StormSurge #PensacolaBeach #HurricaneAftermath #Florida

Hurricane Isaias is now a dangerous CAT 3 with 120mph winds. We’re back after flying into the eye of Hurricane Isaias 5 times over the span of 8 hours with NOAA’s Hurricane Hunters. Comparing the changes with each pass is pretty important to see these changes.

Eye of Hurricane Isaias not looking very circular and open on the south side around noon Thursday. Four hours later, we had a closed eyewall and intensity up to 100mph (CAT 2). Less tilted too. Gradual organization continues tonight.

About to go up with NOAA Hurricane hunters this afternoon to fly into Hurricane Isaias in the Gulf. It’s right on the cusp of rapid intensification.

A developing tropical system in the Gulf is likely to become Hurricane Isaias later this week. Expected to pack winds of 100mph, it could make landfall late Friday into early Saturday. Severe weather including tornadoes will also be big impacts along the northern Gulf coast.

There could soon be a tropical storm or even a hurricane in the Gulf with a landfall over the weekend. Here's what we know so far...

A Flood Warning continues for Key West until 6:15pm. Up to 5” of rain has fallen so far leading to numerous flooded roads. Some businesses have put up sandbags to keep the water out.

A powerful coastal storm moving up the East Coast is sending swells down to Florida. At the same time, the full moon is giving us a round of king tides. This ugly combo sent waves up to the buildings on Hollywood Beach this morning.

☀️ Florida's first front of the season will bring 50s for some. Miami will drop to the low 70s with lower humidity, which is the coolest in nearly 5 months!

Several inches of rain overnight between Miami and Fort Lauderdale sparked another round of flooding. Check out the water in some North Miami neighborhoods.
