Miami residents better keep their umbrellas close as scattered thunderstorms are set to make a splash across South Florida. The National Weather Service pegs today's chance of showers and storms at 30 percent, mostly hitting between 3pm and 5pm. The forecast also promises a mostly sunny sky with a high near 80 degrees and a southeastern breeze tossing around at 7 to 10 mph.

Relief is only a concept at night when the storms could keep up their antics until 9pm. The humidity, sticking stubbornly at 85 percent, wraps Miami in a warm embrace with an easterly wind whispering at around 7 mph. Overnight lows are expected to stay comfy at around 69 degrees.

As the week progresses, Monday maintains the status quo with a 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms post-lunch, while the mercury climbs slightly to a high around 81 – a telltale echo of South Florida's eternal dance with sultry climes.

But hold onto your hats because midweek mayhem looms on the weather horizon. As reported by NBC Miami, "The early day sun will help fuel the afternoon activity," packed with potential scattered downpours and electric shows of lightning thanks to the warm-ups courtesy of the early sun patches.

The restless skies are set to calm down towards the week's end, bowing out for quieter, perhaps more agreeable weather patterns. Despite the wet forecast, the heat will hang high with daytime highs loitering in the low 80s and nighttime lows not dropping much, keeping the low 70s company.

By the weekend, Miami can expect to bask in the glow of mostly sunny days with highs cresting at around 84 degrees, bringing a breezy comfort to cap off an otherwise storm-studded week.
