The skies over Miami are expected to remain mostly cloudy throughout the weekend as the aftermath of Milton brings increased rain chances to South Florida. According to a detailed forecast provided by the National Weather Service, there is a 60 percent chance of precipitation today with new rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.
While the morning may see some dry spots, particularly in the northern regions, afternoon hours come with the uncertainty of how far north showers will reach from the Keys. Beachgoers can expect to have some time to enjoy the morning sunshine, although rip currents pose a constant concern throughout the day. Additionally, a detailed forecast by the National Weather Service predicts "a chance of showers before 2pm, then a chance of showers and thunderstorms between 2pm and 5pm, then showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm after 5pm."
Looking at tomorrow's weather, the likelihood of showers and thunderstorms continues to hover. "Showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm," states the National Weather Service, citing a 70 percent chance of rain with potential rainfall amounts between a quarter and half of an inch. On a similar note, NBC Miami also anticipates tomorrow to be wet with "showers are likely and possibly a thunderstorm, chance of precipitation is 60%."
Looking ahead, the region eyes the approach of the first autumn cold front on Wednesday, as suggested by NBC Miami. While this will not bring about a significant temperature change, it introduces a welcomed sharp drop in humidity. The front will lead into milder conditions by the end of the week with partially sunny skies and an ongoing 20 to 40 percent chance of showers. Anchored by an easterly wind, Thursday presents a forecast with a cooler high near 81 degrees alongside breezy conditions, as per National Weather Service's prediction of a "20 percent chance of showers" and a "mostly sunny" day.
