Hurricane Erin, sitting just offshore, is pushing tides about a foot higher than normal in Fort Lauderdale. Last night’s high tide went over the level where we start to see minor flooding in low-lying areas.

Now through the weekend:

• Mild flooding is possible during high tides.
• If it rains at the same time as high tide, water will drain slowly and could cause temporary ponding on streets.
• Once tides recede, conditions should improve.

 City crews are monitoring conditions and will provide updates if needed.
