City Monitoring Tropical Depression Fred

Tropical Depression Fred continues to move west-northwest and is expected to continue on this path today.  A turn toward the northwest is expected tonight or Saturday.  Fred is expected to be near the Florida Keys on Saturday and west coast of Florida on Sunday.  There has not been an upgrade to the storm or an issuance of a watch/ warning for our area.  We continue to anticipate a substantial rain event.

The City of Hallandale Beach will continue to monitor the storm.  In an abundance of caution, City crews have prepared for potential rain-flooding, storm surge, and wind hazards.

At this time, residents are reminded to review their emergency plans and ensure storm readiness and essential supplies are on hand.  Keep an eye on local news and ensure areas around your home are clear of debris and loose materials.
