A flood advisory for much of South Florida has been extended until 11 a.m.

Downtown Miami is undoubtedly prone to flooding. 

For example, 14th at Biscayne Blvd. is expected to have some issues as the rain intensifies throughout the night. 

The drainage concerns stem from rising water levels in the river and the bay feeding water back. Then there's the issue of trash clogging the pipes.

Water was roughly a little more than ankle-deep around 4 p.m. Friday.

It has not been designated as a Tropical Depression or Tropical Storm yet because it does not yet have a closed well-defined low level center of circulation. But Hurricane Hunters found it does have tropical storm force winds.
