Miami residents and visitors should brace for bracing winds and a risk of rip currents early this week, with gusts hitting the 20-30 mph range on Monday and a high wind advisory in effect. Swells are expected to reach six feet off the coasts of Miami-Dade and Broward counties, and seven feet further down the Florida Keys, according to NBC Miami.

Those away from the shoreline won't escape Mother Nature's bluster, with the wind providing a so-called refreshing feel on land as highs struggle to break the low-80s; beachgoers are cautioned to be mindful of the increased rip current risks. Along with the small craft advisory mirrored in a report by National Weather Service, Miami's weather remains firmly in the breezy category as we advance through the week.

Forecasters also foresee a pickup in shower activity Tuesday and Wednesday, creating slightly muggy conditions. But with the rain expected to taper off the chance of precipitation primes to dip again as the week progresses, promising a return to clearer skies and warmer temperatures, according to the detailed forecast from the National Weather Service.

Looking ahead to the end of the week and into the weekend, Miami should anticipate a dry spell with the thermometer creeping back into the comfortable mid-80s, this dry period coupled with low chances of rain is projected to persist, making for a warm and humid weekend typical for South Florida, as described by NBC Miami.
