The full moon has brought king tides and flooding to South Florida. AccuWeather's Leslie Hudson talks to city officials about how they handle the expected flooding.

Miami

South Florida is experiencing flooding and rough surf due to a combination of king tides, a supermoon, and persistent onshore winds. Areas from the Palm Beaches to Miami-Dade are affected, with local officials anticipating the worst impacts during upcoming high tide cycles. King tides, which are exceptionally high astronomical tides, are being intensified by the moon's proximity to Earth and ongoing easterly winds. These conditions have already caused ponding in low-lying areas and have prompted cities to deploy temporary pumps and distribute sandbags.

Residents are advised to avoid driving or walking through floodwaters, as saltwater can cause significant vehicle damage and may be contaminated. There is also a high risk of rip currents along South Florida beaches. Local authorities continue to issue forecasts and safety tips as they work to manage the impacts of the elevated tides.

Morning high tides bring flooding, rough surf to South Florida

Millions of Americans from Florida to the Mid-Atlantic are bracing for more coastal flooding as king tides along with this month's super moon and stubborn onshore winds drive water inland. All right, AccuWeather's Leslie Hudson is live in Miami, Florida with what to expect over the next couple of days and what king tide really, really means. Good morning, Leslie. Hey, good morning to you, Bernie. Yeah, I am here in the Brickell area, a very popular destination in Miami, Florida. This is also a popular spot for flooding when there are king tides. So we're about an hour and 40 minutes or so, give or take, before the next high tide cycle. But generally, if this was right at the high tide at 940 and 950 in the morning, the walkway you see behind me would have some overlapping, some overwash because of what we're expecting from those king tides. And as you mentioned, anywhere from the Palm Beaches to Dayton Broward, all the way down into the Miami-Dade area, again, expecting some type of impact from these king tides over the next several days. The local officials here actually think the worst of the king tides will be tomorrow during that high tide cycle, which will run in the morning and then 12 hours later at night. But let me show you some video that we have from the king tides in and around parts of Florida. So we've already been persistent onshore flow for the last several days. We know that king tides are not storms, that they are exceptionally high astronomical tides. What do you need to have a king tide? Well, the recipe is a full moon, which of course we have had. Last night it was beautiful, although here in Miami we've had persistent rain, so we didn't see much of it. The moon is of course near its perigee, which is when that is closest to the earth, plus a persistent easterly onshore flow that helps pile that water toward the coast. If you add a few downpours, those drains simply cannot keep up in many parts of the country. But here in Miami, that is also no exception. The unusual hotspots already have been showing some ponding over the weekend. These tides are long, the waves are slow and are driven by gravity. When the moon and sun's gravity combine, that moon is extra close, the tide gets a boost. Around these days, water runs about one and a half to two hours before and after the peak. And definitely here in Biscayne Bay where I am, I can definitely see there is, it is higher than normal, but still not over-washing here across the sidewalk here. Sea level rises adds a higher baseline, so each king tide climbs a little more than it did the year before. We saw in the last century about a foot of sea level rise in Florida, and that's coming from the Key West tidal gauges. And then we see more locally here on Miami Beach, we've just really seen more higher tides, more king tides, over the last 10 years. And that just means we know when those tides go higher than a certain threshold, we're seeing more days of that. We need to advance our stormwater system, so we want to keep water moving and we want to drain as quickly as possible. King tides itself, it's coming from the ocean, so it's hard to drain the ocean. And that is so true, but it's not just here along beachfront areas that get those king tides. Tidal rivers, bays, canals like the St. Johns up in northern central Florida, in Savannah, Georgia, the Cooper and the Palm Lico and the Carolinas, they all can get back up from their rivers when there is a problem with those king tides. And when those king tide levels are elevated, storm drains can reverse bubbling water into streets instead of carrying the water out. Cities are responding with temporary pumps. There has also been an offer of sandbags all across the southeast, including here in Miami. Folks were getting sandbags over the weekend. The South Florida Water Management District is sending out a weekly king tide forecast so residents can try and move around the king tide morning peaks. And just some quick safety tips if you are going to be in an area that could be impacted by those king tides. Just remember that you do not want to drive in floodwaters under any scenario. But remember, if you're driving in a king tide where there is some minor erosion on the road, that is salt water and that can damage your vehicle much more seriously than fresh water. So really, you do not want to mess around with salt water. Just make sure that you're always trying to turn around, get out of those floodwaters. Avoid also walking through those waters. They can be very dirty. So remember, sometimes the septics in some parts of low-lying coastal areas can interchange with some of those drains and the water is not always clean. So be very careful if you're going to have to walk through it. If you're walking your pet, officials are also saying if your pet gets exposed to some of that king tide water, make sure you give them a bath because again, not the cleanest water out there. Besides that, there is also a high rip current risk here in Miami-Dade, all across South Florida. A dangerous rip current is expected through at least Wednesday. So we'll just have to see how that all plays out. But you guys, the Miami officials here said they've tried to do a lot of resiliency over the last couple of years to try and get ready for king tides, but there is still going to be some minor erosion. It's more of a nuisance, but definitely can be some trouble for folks trying to get out and about as they kick off the work week. Reporting live from Miami, Florida, I'm Leslie Hudson. Back to you. All right. Thanks, Leslie. We'll talk to you a little later on this morning as the runners go past. I know. My question is, when they see the camera, do they pick up pace a little bit? Oh, they slow down. Because I definitely would. It's like, oh God, I'm working so hard.
