As residents of Miami awoke to the familiar warmth of their city this Sunday morning, they found a forecast of partly cloudy skies swiftly giving way to expected afternoon thunderstorms. According to Weather.com, the high temperature near 90°F won't do much to deter the 70% chance of rain that seems almost a summer staple.
While the morning offered a reprieve of relative calm and a chance to enjoy the outdoors, the southeast winds at 5 to 10 mph hinted at the unsettled weather to come. Thunderstorms likely will mark the afternoon hours, as if the sky itself were setting the stage with a natural light show. As night falls, those early thunderstorms are predicted to clear, making way for a partly cloudy sky and a lower chance of precipitation at 60%, as mentioned by Weather.com.
Transitioning into the evening, a calm wind becoming south around 5 mph will shepherd in a low of 79°F, reports the National Weather Service. This ushers in a night of subdued weather, providing a gentle lull following the day's storms. With atmospheric tranquility residing overhead, the humidity that has lain heavy on the streets of Miami finds itself taking a brief respite.
Looking ahead, Miamians can expect the pattern of sun, showers, and thunderstorms to continue throughout the coming week. The National Weather Service predicts heat index values as high as 105°F, reminding us that summer is here with all its intense fervor. Chance of precipitation each day, ranging from 50 to 60 percent, with possible sunshine ushering in each new morning before storms roll in with routine certainty.
