Waves of water sloshed onto the streets of South Florida earlier this week, flooding cars and soaking feet.<\/p>\n
The record-breaking king tide is over for now \u2014 but the water will rise again soon.<\/p>\n
The next king tide is forecast for Nov. 6-9. While minor to moderate flooding is possible, water levels are not expected to reach the level seen this week.<\/p>\n
And it\u2019s not over yet. Another king tide is coming Nov. 23-26.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor our upcoming king tide, we\u2019re not expecting it to reach that major flood stage at this point,\u201d Alejandra Garcia, a forecaster with the National Weather Service in Miami, said Friday.<\/p>\n
This week marked the most intense expected king tide of the season, seriously flooding some coastal areas, Garcia said, and triggering a coastal flood warning.<\/p>\n

If the ground gets saturated, even scattered showers later in the week could worsen standing water issues, she said.<\/p>\n Combined with coastal flooding associated with king tides, the rainfall could lead to more standing water in some areas. Miami Beach Fort Lauderdale and parts of the downtown Miami area saw the worst of the flooding this past week.<\/p>\n \u201cNever drive through saltwater flooding,\u201d Garcia said, noting that it can damage cars. \u201cWe saw a lot of that this time around.\u201d<\/p>\n
