Thunderstorms flooded streets across southern Palm Beach County and northern Broward County on Monday night, Nov. 2. The National Weather Service extended a flash flood warning twice as radar estimated 4 to 6 inches of rain had fallen.

Monday's storms followed heavier rain on Sunday, Nov. 1, when the weather service said totals topped 15 inches in Palm Beach County. Then CBS Miami's NEXT Weather team flagged flood advisories across portions of Broward on Tuesday night as heavy rain kept pounding the region. In Gulf Stream, police asked drivers to avoid flooded streets near Old School Road and Polo Drive, warning of "dangers that are not visible."

  • Warned: Boca Raton, Highland Beach, Deerfield Beach, Pompano Beach
  • Canals at risk: Hillsboro, C-15, C-14 West, Pompano
