As Hurricane Dorian slowly approaches Florida’s east coast from the Bahamas, South Florida is already seeing the effects of king tides with flooding.
The region is on a coastal flood advisory and at a high risk for rip currents through at least Wednesday morning, according to the National Weather Service.
