Flood Watch Remains In Effect After Days Of Drenching Downpours

MIAMI (CBSMiami) -- A Flood watch remains in effect for Broward and Miami-Dade counties through this evening because the ground is saturated from the heavy rain yesterday and any additional rainfall will lead to more flooding.

Scattered showers are moving across parts of South Florida early Thursday bringing a mild, muggy start with mid to upper 70s. There will be breezy showers on and off again throughout the day with the potential for some heavy downpours in spots.

The sun will come out at times with highs in the mid to upper 80s.
