Amid the nasty weather, there were reports of hail in Palm Beach County and issues at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. FLL officials said the Federal Aviation Administration at one point issued a ground stop for inbound planes, and departures were experiencing delays, with a total of 70 delays as of 4 p.m.

Here's what to know about Monday's weather.

When will it rain today?

The rain developed early Monday afternoon and thunderstorms could extend into the late afternoon hours and possibly even the early evening.

What weather impacts could South Florida see?

The region is under a “marginal risk” of severe storms, which means we have an isolated chance of severe weather. Even so, general thunderstorms can be very impactful here in South Florida with frequent lightning and brief heavy rainfall expected.

In addition, we have an isolated chances of seeing gusty winds and small hail, too.

Future forecast

The forecast is calling for much drier times ahead, starting Monday evening, with very little rain expected for the balance of the week. Our next real chance of rain is pointing to this weekend.
