From the Miami-Dade County Office of Emergency Management
June 2, 2022
10:00 am Update
The Miami-Dade County Office of Emergency Management continues to monitor an area of Low Pressure (Invest 91L) in the northwestern Caribbean Sea and near the Yucatan Peninsula. If this system further develops it will be named Tropical Depression One and/or Alex. 
 
Current Location: 19.6N / 86.6W (Approximately 560 miles SW of Miami-Dade County)
 
Maximum Sustained Wind Speed: 35 MPH
 
Forward Speed: - - MPH
 
Forward Direction: NE
 
Potential for further Development or Weakening: Wind shear will be high across the Gulf of Mexico which will prevent significant development of the system but it is still likely to become a tropical depression or tropical storm while it moves northeastward over the northwestern Caribbean Sea and southeastern Gulf of Mexico.  
 
Potential Impact for Miami-Dade County: This system is forecast to approach the Florida peninsula Friday night and early Saturday. Regardless of development, heavy rainfall is likely to spread across southern Florida Friday through Saturday (7-10.5”). Flash Flooding is the primary threat. Gusty/squally conditions and deteriorating marine/surf conditions will likely begin Friday afternoon and continue into Saturday. Tropical storm watches or warnings could be required later today for portions of South Florida.  
 
Current Miami-Dade County Actions:  Level 3 (Monitoring)
Primary canals are in the low range and the South Florida Water Management District is prepared to take further protective actions, if necessary. RER – Water Management Division has been monitoring the secondary canals and have locked all the County gates in the open position in preparation for the rainfall forecasted for Friday and Saturday.
 
Current related watches and warnings for Miami-Dade County: None

Keep Your Drains Clean
In anticipation of this weekend's heavy rain event, we are asking residents to please keep any drains located near their property clear of any and all debris. Landscape clippings or even fallen leaves will prevent the drain from working properly, causing flooding in the area.

Let's all do our part! Please make sure your drains are clean and clear to prevent flooding.
