Miami residents, brace yourselves for a bout of varied weather conditions. According to the National Weather Service, today there's a "40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms", with partial sunshine pushing temperatures up to a decent 81 degrees. The winds, starting from the west at 6 to 9 mph, are set to shift southeast later in the afternoon.
This evening, the thunderstorm risk drops slightly to a 20 percent chance before 8 p.m., and the clouds are sticking around, driving nighttime temps to a muggy low around 71. The south wind isn’t giving much of a break either, light at 5 to 7 mph. As we swing into Friday, and Saturday, look forward to partly sunny skies, with a high near 83, and a southeast wind blowing at a gentle 6 to 14 mph. Those gusts, though, could whip up as high as 20 mph, so hold onto your hats, as per the National Weather Service.
Switching gears, Miami-Dade County is on alert today with a "Severe Thunderstorm Warning" in the early hours, as per NBC Miami. But don’t expect the storms to put a damper on the entire day. We’re seeing "a few passing showers early before daytime heating adds a few storms to the mix during the afternoon." And for those heading out, it’s another day to dress light, as temperatures might climb into the mid-80s.
Peering into the weekend, rain's taking a back seat with lower chances on Friday, and as we sashay into Saturday and Sunday, the mercury's flirting with the upper-80s. A front is expected to sweep in late Sunday, promising to usher in, "fantastic weather to the region." The outlook for next week? Get ready to enjoy cooler mornings in the 60s, afternoons cresting at a pleasant 70s, and all that with low humidity and a healthy serving of sunshine, as reported by NBC Miami.
