Heat seekers in Miami are hitting the jackpot today, with temperatures expected to soar to near-record highs, as reported by NBC 6. Forecasters are calling for a high of 90 degrees, which would tie the record set in 2003; residents are advised to stay hydrated and seek shade when possible during peak heat hours.
A south wind is set to keep things breezy throughout the day at 10 to 15 mph and while some relief is on the horizon with a weak front expected to push through later, it's going to be a muggy start to the week, so plan accordingly. "A weak front comes through today and this will bring back refreshing conditions for the rest of the week," declares the forecast from NBC 6. High temperatures are slated to return to the more seasonable 80 degrees marking a respite from the swelter.
The remainder of the week promises to bring calmer skies and more comfortable conditions, per details from The National Weather Service. Starting Tuesday, residents can expect mostly sunny skies with a high near 76 and a clear night with a low around 62 degrees, providing a brief period of respite from the searing heat of today's high.
As the weekend approaches, however, conditions are forecast to become "a little more unsettled," which means locals should be prepared for some showers and possible thunderstorms, though the mercury isn't expected to stray far from the 80-degree mark, the warm breeze still coming through, it’ll be at a moderate rate. "Thursday Night A 40 percent chance of showers, mainly after 2am," is what The National Weather Service predicts and carrying into the weekend, the chance of precipitation hovers around 50 to 60 percent, so while it might not be perfect beach weather, it's always wise to keep an umbrella handy in the Magic City.
