Miami is set to endure yet another bout of extreme weather, with experts predicting strong winds, heavy rain, and turbulent seas to continue barraging South Florida. According to the National Weather Service, today's forecast in Miami includes a 50 percent chance of showers with cloudy skies and blustery conditions reaching up to 38 mph gusts; residents should therefore brace for new precipitation amounts between a tenth and a quarter of an inch.
As night falls, the likelihood of showers mixed with thunderstorms increases, climbing to a robust 70 percent chance after 10:00 p.m.; moreover, NBC Miami cautions travelers about additional weather hazards, including a flood watch in the Keys and a high risk of rip currents persisting along the coast. Despite this, the combined efforts of a gale warning and a high surf advisory highlight the necessity for caution as seas could occasionally surge to an alarming 17 feet earlier today.
Tomorrow's outlook seems even more formidable—anticipating a 90 percent chance of showers and possible thunderstorms, all propelled by winds of up to 36 mph gusts. The National Weather Service points to approximately half to three-quarters of an inch of new rainfall.
What follows is an intense weather front set to strike on December 17, perhaps offering a temporary respite yet still presenting showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm before 1 p.m., and then again after, the skies will partially clear with the National Weather Service forecasting a 60 percent chance of precipitation, and the NBC Miami report notes a faint chance of thunderstorms persisting before 7:00 p.m. on December 17 night. In the wake of this turbulent weather, the new week will greet South Floridians with a sunny December 18, guiding a shift toward calmer conditions with lower winds and clear skies leading into December 19.
