Flood Watch Runs to 3 P.M. Monday; Election Day Carries Thunderstorms in the Live Feed
Sunday night read 75.2 degrees with the Flood Watch holding into Monday afternoon — then the feed dries the week out, from a 66% rain chance Monday to a clear, 80-degree Saturday.
WEST PALM BEACH — Palm Beach County's Flood Watch runs through 3 p.m. Monday, the last leg of a wet weekend that dropped 2.5 to 3.5 inches of measured rain on the county's northeast corner under Sunday evening's Flash Flood Warning. The National Weather Service in Miami keeps scattered totals of 3 to 5 inches possible through Monday, with isolated spots at 5 to 7 inches, and the Coastal Flood Advisory for the county's coast runs until 7 p.m. Monday.
The station's live weather feed read 75.2 degrees on Sunday night and puts Monday's high at 78 degrees with a 66% precipitation chance and a low of 69.1 — a commute that starts wet, on top of the county's two standing road closures, Military Trail at the crash site and South Ocean Boulevard in Palm Beach. A high rip current risk runs through Tuesday evening and a Small Craft Advisory until 10 a.m. Tuesday.
Election Day, Tuesday, carries a thunderstorm code in the feed: a high of 79.1 degrees, a low of 75.9 and a 52% precipitation chance while polls are open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. After that the week dries steadily — Wednesday 82.6 degrees at 46%, Thursday 85 at 16%, Friday 85.6 at 8%, and a clear Saturday at 80.7 degrees with a 4% chance.
