Miami is bracing for blistering heat as temperatures are expected to climb into the upper 80s today, with the "feels like" numbers nudging mid-90s territory thanks to Florida's ever-present humidity. According to NBC Miami, the balmy trend won't be letting up anytime soon, with forecasts indicating the mercury hitting mid-90s as the week progresses, potentially spiking "feels like" temperatures over 100 degrees.

The immediate weather outlook from the National Weather Service suggests the entitlement of a tropical wardrobe: mostly sunny days, with highs dancing near 88 degrees and southeast winds sailing at 7 to 11 mph. National Weather Service anticipates an evening respite with lows circling around a comfortable 77 degrees and a southeast wind maintaining a steady 10 mph.

Despite the relentless heat, the South Florida climate offers only the occasional promise of rain to break the sizzle. National Weather Service forecasts envision a 40 percent chance of rain showers and thunderstorms by Saturday, hinting at brief interruptions to the otherwise sun-drenched days. As the week rolls out, the potential for precipitation lingers, with occasional thunderstorms adding a dynamic touch to the otherwise clear and sultry Miami nights.

Despite a front coming from the north and possibly bringing thunderstorms over the Mother's Day weekend, Southerners can still plan outdoor activities, though there's a slight chance of afternoon showers, as reported by NBC Miami.
