FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. (WSVN) – A large storm system passing over South Florida drenched several parts of Broward, leaving many roads flooded and neighborhoods soaked ahead of the weekend.<\/p>\n
The persistent rain clouds hanging over much of Broward made for unpleasant road conditions for many drivers leaving work, Friday afternoon.<\/p>\n
7News cameras captured several vehicles cautiously maneuvering through Northeast Eighth Street and Andrews Avenue, which had already been flooded by several inches of rain.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere near Northeast 37th Street and North Federal Highway, cars could be seen slowly passing through even more flooded roadways.<\/p>\n
Some neighborhoods weren\u2019t spared from rain-related headaches.<\/p>\n
In Pompano Beach, heavy rainfall left enough sitting water on the road to reach past the front yards of several homes<\/p>\n
The National Weather Service says parts of Broward and Palm Beach Counties have already seen between 2-4 inches of rain just on Friday afternoon. Officials say another inch of rain is very likely by the end of the day.<\/p>\n
The forecast also shows even more rain inundating parts of South Florida over the coming weekend.<\/p>\n
Officials advised drivers who plan to hit the road to drive slow when passing through wet and flooded roads and to avoid driving through standing water.<\/p>\n
