Heavy rain and thunderstorms barreled across South Florida on Thursday morning, leading to flooding in parts of Miami-Dade.

The Florida Department of Transportation reported flooding on Interstate 95 in Miami-Dade, leading to delays as water covered the roadway just south of 79th Street.

According to officials, flooding has also been reported westbound on the Dolphin Expressway at Le Jeune Road, and two lanes have been closed.

Flooding was also reported in the area of Le Jeune Road and Northwest 3rd Street in Miami-Dade, which is just south of Miami International Airport.

Photos from the area showed cars slowly traveling through the floodwaters as water rises and creeps onto sidewalks in the area.

Drivers are urged to keep it slow on the roads and allow for extra time.
