A Severe Flood Warning is in effect for Monroe County, Florida, including Key West and Stock Island, until 3:30 PM EDT today, according to the National Weather Service (NWS).
The warning indicates that flooding caused by excessive rainfall is expected. Between 2 and 4 inches of rain have already fallen, with additional rainfall amounts of 1 to 3 inches possible in the warned area.
Flooding of low-lying and flood-prone locations is imminent or occurring. Some roads may remain closed, such as the 500 block of Angela St., and additional road closures are possible.
In case of an emergency, dial 911. Follow the guidance of the NWS and local authorities.
