What is the story about?

Storms and thunderstorms could cause localized flooding and frequent lightning strikes across South Florida today.

That's according to the National Weather Service office in Miami, which said the "scattered to numerous" showers and thunderstorms are most likely to develop over "interior areas" from this afternoon into early evening.

Localized flooding is possible, thanks to high rainfall rates and slow-moving storms, especially along east coast metro areas.

Other potential hazards include "gusty, erratic" winds from stronger afternoon thunderstorms, poor visibility from heavy downpours and "frequent lightning strikes."
