Another round of thunderstorms swept across a waterlogged South Florida on Thursday, causing major travel disruptions, following days of heavy rain that had already caused flooded roads and homes.

A flood watch was in effect until Friday evening in several counties as up to four inches of additional rain were forecast to add to the ongoing flooding, according to the National Weather Service.

Thursday was the third consecutive day of tropical downpours as a line of storms, stretching from the west coast to the east coast of the state, brought downpours and flooding to some areas and raised the risk of flash flooding through the evening.

Heavy rain prompted temporary ground stops on Thursday afternoon at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and Tampa International Airport, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
