A flood watch covers Fort Lauderdale through 3 in the afternoon on Monday, with three to 5 inches of rain possible and moderate tidal flooding near the 2:31 in the afternoon high tide. Turning to city hall, Fort Lauderdale Journal's Morning Notes lists 11 items from city hall, police, schools and county, each linked to the official source. Here's Chloe with your forecast. Showers and thunderstorms are likely before 2 in the afternoon, with a high near 81 and a 90 percent chance of rain. Expect one to 2 inches, east winds around 15 miles per hour and gusts near 24. Jonah's out on location for us. And if you're heading out, Riverwalk's 'Get Lit' lights Esplanade Park on Thursday, November 5 at 5:30 in the evening for music and a Santa visit. I'm Jonah.
