The National Weather Service in Key West issued a flood advisory for parts of the Lower Keys on Saturday, October 31, after thunderstorms brought heavy rain.

The advisory covers Key West and Key Haven in Monroe County, Florida, and includes U.S. 1 between mile markers 3 and 5. It is scheduled to remain in effect until 5 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time.

At 2:56 p.m. EDT, radar indicated that between half an inch and one inch of rain had fallen. The bulletin says minor flooding was ongoing or expected to begin shortly within the advisory area.

Forecasters expected another half-inch to one inch of rain. The notice identifies the combination of additional rainfall and approaching high tide as a factor in the expected minor flooding.

The listed impacts include water accumulating in low-lying locations and areas with poor drainage. The notice does not establish that all streets or neighborhoods in the Lower Keys are flooded.

The advisory was issued at 2:57 p.m. EDT. Its rainfall figures and expected impacts are those in that official bulletin; the scheduled expiration is not confirmation that every affected road will be clear at that time.
