Parts of Broward County are under a flood advisory Friday afternoon as heavy rain fell during high tide about noon, quickly flooding some roads.
Though most of the storms have passed, areas from Pompano Beach south to Hallandale Beach, including Fort Lauderdale and Dania Beach, are under a flood advisory until at least 3:30 p.m., the National Weather Service Miami said.
A total of 3 to 4 inches of rain fell across parts of Broward County and northeast Miami-Dade County, mostly between noon and 3 p.m., said NWS Miami Meteorologist George Rizzuto.
Numerous roads in Wilton Manors are underwater, the police department said in a post on X. Commercial Boulevard in Oakland Park, as well as Federal Highway and Northeast 56th Street in Pompano Beach, also experienced some flooding, up to 8 inches, according to NWS Miami local storm reports.
In Davie, the fire department’s Technical Rescue Team freed a horse that became stuck in the mud. There were no other significant calls for service related to flooding, said Jessica Montes, a spokesperson for Davie Fire Rescue Department.
“The horse wasn’t stuck very deep in the mud — she had fallen onto her side and the ground was too slippery for her to get back up on her own,” Montes said. “She had also worn herself out trying, which is why our crews responded to assist.”

Fort Lauderdale officials in an alert about 2:30 p.m. said crews are out monitoring the areas that are seeing some flooding and are making sure drains are clear. Fire rescue crews have not received any major calls for service related to the weather, according to Frank Guzman, a spokesperson for Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue.
Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue Batallion Chief Michael Kane said there have been many weather-related calls for assistance as of Friday afternoon but none involving rescue or a major medical emergency.

South Florida is expected to see a cold front in the region starting Saturday. Friday’s storms were “right ahead of the front,” Rizzuto said.
Rain chances will decrease into the weekend and early next week, according to NWS Miami, though Rizzuto said there’s still some chance for showers Friday evening and early Saturday morning.
“At least for now, we’re kind of in a lull for the next few hours,” he said.
