Miami residents woke up to light showers and the distant rumble of thunderstorms today, but the weather show is just passing through, reports suggest the sun might peek out by midday. NBC Miami pointed out that a cool front is muscling its way through South Florida, not only chopping down the heat but stirring a few morning showers along with thunderstorms mainly dousing the Lower and Middle Keys while Miami-Dade and Broward manage just to catch "a few nuisance showers."

As this front makes its exit, Miami and surrounding areas are getting a taste of cooler, less humid air with a forecasted daytime high flirting with the mid-70s, a stark contrast to the recent record highs, the same report continues to state also that the bracing northeast winds will blow at a sturdy 14 to 16 mph, gusting to a hair-tousling 22 mph—so hold onto your hats. It's causing quite a stir out at sea, resulting in a small craft advisory and a high risk of rip currents for all of South Florida, says the warning put out by National Weather Service.

The mood of the weather over the next few days is looking up, sunny spells with "beautiful temperatures" are in the cards for Wednesday and Thursday, with cozy morning lows set in the 60s and highs tipping nearly 80°. The city will come under a new siege of rainy conditions by the end of the week, according to the meteorological crystal ball glimpsed by NBC Miami.

But until the rain taps return on Friday, with a fat 80 percent chance of showers and possibly the thunderous applause of a storm, to be precise, the dance will continue into Saturday with lingering showers who refuse to take a bow—transitioning to a bright and sunny Sunday with a high of a sprightly 77°, Miami folks should surely savor these clear skies and comfy climes, the National Weather Service remarks, they're truly the calm before the next turbulent spectacle of nature.
