Sawgrass Mills Temporarily Closed Due To Severe Weather Conditions

Flooding in western Broward County forced the popular mall Sawgrass Mills to close its doors Wednesday morning until further notice. Commuters can see barricades and police officers at every entrance point, assuring the premises remain unoccupied.

Severe weather conditions in South Florida are flooding streets and parking lots, affecting commuters and local businesses -- including Sawgrass Mills, one of the most popular destinations in the state.

WLRN called the offices at Sawgrass Mills, where an automated message explained the situation.

“Due to area flooding, Sawgrass Mills will be closed today, Wednesday June 7th 2017. We will continue to assess the situation throughout the day, and provide regular mall updates. Thank you.”

South Florida counties, excluding Monroe County and Glades County, are under a flood watch after receiving heavy amounts of rain in the last 48 hours. The Weather Channel has reported up to 10 inches of rainfall in Broward County alone.

Weather forecasters say rain storms will continue for the remainder  of the week.
