Miami is bracing for a mix of sun and storms today, with temperatures set to reach steamy heights before a refreshing change sweeps through. The city kicked off with sticky conditions in the mid 70s this morning, and with humidity factoring in, it's shaping up to be a sizzling Sunday, according to NBC Miami.
The forecast promises a climb to the upper 80s, hitting a peak around 88 degrees — and it could feel even more sweltering with index temperatures nudging into the low 90s. While an hour of daylight has been snatched from the morning, thanks to daylight saving time, Miamians will enjoy that extra hour of sunshine in the evening, as the NBC Miami reported the sunrise was at 7:34 am and the sunset is expected at 7:27 pm.
Storm clouds might be a no-show early in the day, but a looming front is set to shake things up, bringing a chance for showers and thunderstorms later on. "Late afternoon and early evening is the best time to get in on a downpour," stated NBC Miami. This bout of rain, albeit not forecasted to be widespread, will appear as a broken line of activity marching through the area.
Following this spell of precipitation, the winds of change will blow from the southwest, to more northerly currents, signaling a transition to cooler, more agreeable conditions. As cited by the National Weather Service, this shift will see the start of the week bring highs near 80 with an appreciable dip in humidity levels.
As we edge into a more comfortable pattern, Monday's clear skies beckon with a forecasted high of around 77 degrees and northeasterly winds adding a refreshing touch. The rest of the week unfolds under mostly sunny to partly cloudy conditions, hovering in the high 70s to low 80s, promising Miami a pleasant break from today's thick warmth and scattered storm potential.
