A for sale sign sticks out from a flooded street near a temporary pump at Little River Pocket Park on Monday, Oct. 30, 2023 in Miami, Fla. Monday was the highest king tide of the year for South Florida, flooding streets, driveways and parks.

South Florida’s east coast is under a Coastal Flood Advisory this week because of King Tides.

The National Weather Service says coastal areas are also under a moderate flood warning through at least Oct. 8 — when the tides are expected to peak.

High rain chances this week might also contribute to the flooding.

During King Tides it is important to avoid contact with standing water – do not drive through flooded areas.
