南佛州周日凌晨暴雨 多地街道积水 24 小时雨量达 2 至 4 英寸
迈阿密——位于佛罗里达州迈阿密-戴德县的迈阿密市，10 月 18 日（周日）凌晨，一场暴雨扫过南佛罗里达，从 Pompano Beach、Hallandale Beach 到 Miramar，多地街道被积水覆盖。美国国家气象局 Miami 办公室此前对 Miami-Dade 与 Broward 两县发布洪水提示，部分地区 24 小时降雨量达到 2 至 4 英寸。
随着雨势减弱，洪水提示已陆续到期解除。国家气象局表示，周日白天南佛州仍有阵雨与雷暴，天气随后将逐渐转晴；与此同时，大西洋水域的小船警报与离岸流提示持续至周日晚间，沿岸海域风速约 20 节、阵风可达 25 节。
南佛州地势低平、排水易受潮汐影响，强降雨时低洼街道与地下停车场容易出现积水。本次降雨未伴随热带气旋登陆，属于本地强对流天气过程。（GSM 据国家气象局 Miami 办公室信息报道）
Heavy Rain Floods Streets Across South Florida Early Sunday
MIAMI — Miami is a city in Miami-Dade County, Florida. Heavy rain swept across South Florida before dawn on Sunday, October 18, covering streets with floodwater in neighborhoods from Pompano Beach and Hallandale Beach to Miramar. The National Weather Service office in Miami had issued flood advisories for Miami-Dade and Broward counties, and some areas recorded 2 to 4 inches of rain in just 24 hours.
The flood advisories expired as the rain eased. Forecasters said showers and thunderstorms would linger over South Florida during the day Sunday before conditions gradually cleared. A Small Craft Advisory and a rip current statement for Atlantic waters remained in effect through late Sunday night, with winds around 20 knots and gusts to 25 knots along the coast.
South Florida's low terrain and tide-influenced drainage mean low-lying streets and underground parking garages are prone to flooding during intense downpours. The rain was not associated with a landfalling tropical cyclone. (GSM, based on National Weather Service Miami information)
