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.
