Miami residents can expect a mix of sunny skies and potential showers this week, with temperatures on a gentle climb before a cold front shakes things up by Thursday, according to local forecasts. A partly sunny day with highs reaching near 81 degrees and southeast winds gusting up to 18 mph is predicted for today, as per the National Weather Service. The outlook for tonight is partly cloudy skies with lows dipping to around 72 degrees and softer southeast winds of 7 to 9 mph.
Wednesday is expected to follow suit with mostly sunny conditions and highs floating near 82 degrees, while slight breezes continue to carry southeast. Meanwhile, NBC Miami notes an increase in both heat and humidity as the week progresses. Gusts remain persistent, aligning themselves more southeasterly today, escalating the rip current risks and prompting advisories for small crafts through Wednesday.
The weather takes a more dramatic turn on Thursday, introducing the possibility of showers and thunderstorms post-11 am. Though partly sunny, temperatures will soar to highs near 86 degrees, coupled with a brisk south wind pushing speeds from 10 to 16 mph and gusts potentially hitting 21 mph. The National Weather Service anticipates a 30% chance of precipitation that day.
Preceding the impending cold front, a muggy and wet environment beckons, potentially spurring scattered afternoon showers as the low-pressure system makes its journey through the country. This is a departure from the mostly dry conditíons seen thus far, and as the front passes, it will dial back temperatures to the seasonal average, providing a window of "calm and quiet conditions" for the Easter Weekend," according to NBC Miami.
Capping off the week, Friday looks to shine bright with uninterrupted sunshine and refreshingly cooler highs around 78 degrees. Breezes take a northeasterly shift, offering a respite with gusts once more touching the 21 mph mark. The weekend promises more of the same placid weather, setting the stage for a serene holiday celebration under mostly clear skies.
