Miami residents can anticipate a breezy but typical summer week ahead, with temperatures hovering around the season's norms. The National Weather Service suggests a slight chance of showers and the occasional thunderstorm today, with a high near 88 degrees and eastern winds gusting up to 26 mph.

The city started the week on a warmer note with 80s widespread, despite a slight reprieve provided by the breezy conditions. Beachgoers should nevertheless be wary of a high risk of rip currents and small craft owners are advised to heed a small craft advisory for the coming days. According to NBC Miami, afternoon highs are "coming in about where the should for this time of the year, topping out around 90."

Climatic patterns mid-week could bring in deep tropical moisture from the Bahamas, with differing projections causing some uncertainty in the forecast. Despite the less predictable elements, Tuesday and Wednesday hold a consistent message with a 30% and 50% chance of showers and thunderstorms, respectively. Breezy conditions with eastern winds up to 17 mph are expected to continue, potentially escalating the already present advisories.

Attention is also directed at tropic activities. "The National Hurricane Center is also looking at this same general area (technically a few hundred miles northeast of the central Bahamas) as a low 'could' develop several days from now," as reported by NBC Miami. This potential development seems likely to veer north and miss South Florida, but officials are keeping a cautious watch. Similarly, an area in the far western Gulf of Mexico has a high chance of development, yet it poses no threat to South Florida.

Heading towards the weekend, the likelihood of showers and thunderstorms increases, reaching a 60% chance by Thursday. Apart from possible thunderstorms, partly cloudy skies are anticipated with temperatures remaining steady. Residents should prepare for intermittent showers and potential thunderstorms throughout the week, with the Eastern winds offering the only constant in Miami's characteristically unpredictable summer forecast.
