Miami is bracing for a wet and windy week, with rainfall and thunderstorms on the forecast for the city, according to the National Weather Service. The forecast calls for a 60% chance of showers today, mainly after 2 pm, with gusty winds reaching up to 40 mph and a high near 76 degrees. Not only are the skies going to open up, but the strong northeast wind is also expected to stay between 23 and 26 mph through the day.
Showers are set to continue with an 80% chance of precipitation, and the winds are forecast to blow from the northeast at a similar, relentless pace of 26 to 28 mph; gusts might reach up to 41 mph, per Fox Weather reports. Scattered thunderstorms early were followed by overcast skies and likely rain into the night, with temperatures holding steady at a low of about 71 degrees Fahrenheit.
The wet weather is set to persist through Friday with a 60% likelihood of showers, particularly before 1:00 p.m., while strong easterly winds of 22 to 25 mph and gusts as high as 37 mph attempt to blow away clouds that are doing little more than threatening another mostly cloudy day and a high hovering around 75 degrees. The odds of precipitation remain stuck at 60% going into Friday night, promising more showers and possibly even a thunderstorm after the stroke of 1:00 a.m.
Saturday dampens plans with a high chance of showers and the possibility of a thunderstorm. With the winds swinging east with sustained speeds of 21 to 25 mph and gusts pushing past the 38 mph mark, this refusal of the wind to ease itself only adds to the saturation, with an 80% chance of precipitation during the day and a 100% chance at night, according to both the National Weather Service and Fox Weather. The tumult carries into Sunday with showers likely and a probable thunderstorm before midday, then a chance of more thunderstorms after 1 pm; skies might part ways with the clouds in a brief respite, mostly sunny with a high near 78 degrees, and winds shifting south then west at a brisk clip.
Monday heralds a sunny disposition and a slightly cooler high near 74 degrees, a breeze still in the air but with a less hostile touch. Looking ahead to Tuesday, residents can anticipate continued sunshine with a high near 72, leading into a partly cloudy night. By Wednesday, Miami should experience mostly sunny weather with temperatures maintaining a decently comfortable high near 74 degrees.
