WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — A flood advisory has been issued for portions of Martin, St. Lucie counties until 5:30 p.m. Between 2 and 4 inches of rain have fallen. Additional rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches are expected over the area.
A coastal flood advisory continues across the area on Thursday. During the high tide cycle, once again we could be dealing with some minor flooding.
Otherwise, late day storms in the forecast once again. Any storm that does develop could produce some flooding rains and very strong winds. Lots of lightning strikes, too.
The storms will start off to the west and push toward the east as we head toward the late afternoon and evening hours.

By Friday, we're going to start to see more of a transition. We'll still have more showers and storms around, but the winds will start to shift.
As we head into the weekend, we'll have more of an onshore flow, which will bring us some morning showers along the coast and then eventually push any afternoon thunderstorm back toward Lake Okeechobee.
Plus, we'll have drier air in place and high pressure in control, so rain chances will be lower either way.
Daytime highs will be mainly in the upper 80s this weekend. Sunday is the first day of fall.
