Flood in Monroe County, Florida

NWS employees, members of the public, law enforcement and private industry streaming webcams verified extensive street flooding from heavy rainfall, with lowest streets with up to 2 to 3 feet of standing water. At least one street closure and a few stalled vehicles were reports. Flooding was most noted on North Roosevelt Boulevard near the Triangle intersection with the Overseas Highway, South Roosevelt down through Flagler Blvd., Flagler Avenue and several downtown poor drainage area streets.

The combination of a departing mid latitude upper trough, a lingering upper trough to the southwest of the Florida Keys, little or no convective inhibition and precipitation water above 2.1 inches resulted in concentrated heavy convective rainfall within the city of Key West.
