South Florida weather: Waterspout in Broward amid risk of stray showers

Waterspout touches down in Hollywood Beach

MIAMI -- A waterspout formed in Broward County as a storm cell moved through the region Friday afternoon.

The National Weather Service issued a tornado warning for parts of Broward at 12:45 p.m. but it expired about five minutes later.

Watch: Waterspout comes ashore on Hollywood Beach

Chopper 4 captured the waterspout that moved from the ocean before it dissipated near Dania Beach.

For the rest of the day, the threat of showers remained in the forecast.

 It was a mild start to Friday with temperatures in the low to mid-70s and a few isolated showers.

The rain chance is low but a few showers will be possible throughout the day. Highs climb to the low to mid-80s under mostly sunny skies.

With an onshore flow in place, there is a high risk of rip currents at the beach, and swimming in the ocean is not recommended. There are no advisories, however, for boaters.

Sunday the rain chance decreases slightly but spotty showers will be possible. We stay warm with passing showers through early next week.
