As the September sun continues in Miami, forecasts anticipate high heat and occasional storms through the week. According to National Weather Service, the city can expect a 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms before 10 a.m. today, with mostly sunny skies and a high creeping near 90 degrees. Notably, the forecast indicates heat index values may soar as high as 105, with a calm southeast wind flowing at 5 to 10 mph.
Evening conditions offer a slight reprieve as temperature dip to a low around 79, with east winds barely mustering 6 mph. The scenario repeats tomorrow with a similar slight chance of precipitation and thunderstorms possible after 2 p.m. Mostly sunny conditions will persist, as temperatures hover near 90 degrees and heat index values again punch upwards of 100 degrees, according to NBC Miami. The area is under a heat advisory with "feels like" numbers possibly hitting an oppressive high of 107, affecting Miami-Dade, Broward, and Collier County.
An eye is also being kept on a disorganized cluster of showers and storms brewing in the western Caribbean. Weather experts at NBC Miami suggest that a depression is possible by mid-week, though projections remain uncertain as "guidance is all over the place on the future of this potential system." This system could influence a rise in precipitation, along with a potential dip in temperatures as we advance towards the weekend.
The extended forecast hints at a mix of weather patterns; partly sunny skies, with a high near 88 on Saturday, and a 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, as per the National Weather Services. Come Sunday, the pattern holds, maintaining a dice roll's chance at showers and thunderstorms, and a partly sunny high near 87. As the climate continues to express its moods in waves of heat and tempest, locals and visitors alike are advised to stay hydrated and plan accordingly.
