Miami is in for a hot and steamy stretch, but a beach breeze might just save the day from record temps. "After record-breaking temperatures in Miami and Key West yesterday, it looks like the records may hold off for the next several days," says NBC Miami. While the mercury is expected to shy away from its recent peak, residents should brace for a sizzling Thursday forecast to feel as hot as 100 during the afternoon even though the thermometers will sit a bit cooler.
Thunderstorms may rumble across South Florida later, the National Weather Service predicts "a 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly after 5pm" as the humidity remains a sticky companion, the calm before an easterly wind picks up between 5 and 10 mph this afternoon, these data points craft a picture of typical Florida steam-and-storm pattern for the coming days. According to the detailed breakdown provided by the National Weather Service, the heat index values may rocket as high as 102 before the day's through.
Transitioning into the weekend, a pleasanter climate awaits. The grip of heat slightly loosens, inviting upper 80-degree highs and lower humidity levels. The breeze, now described as "pleasant" by NBC Miami, will usher in what's set to be "a fantastic weekend." While rain chances aren't completely absolved, they do tumble, paving way for a sequence of sunny days and cooler nights where the thermometers dip to a more comfortable upper 70s.
Seems the east wind's got more to say, becoming busier--and gustier--as it blows across the region with fervor, thunderstorms aren't out of the question either, though the likelihood remains scattered at best, the odds of precipitation flutter between 20 to 40 percent across the forecast period, so while the rain gear may not be a constant companion, it's not to be banished to the closet just yet, according to the National Weather Service.
