Residents of Miami can expect a mainly sunny and breezy Sunday, with occasional clouds and the potential for a stray shower. According to the National Weather Service, there is a 20 percent chance of showers across South Florida, with a high near 84 degrees and winds coming from the northeast at 13 to 16 mph, gusts may reach as high as 23 mph.

After a period of overcast and blustery conditions caused by a front on Wednesday, the weather is improving as the stalled front moves southeast and Tropical Depression Nadine drifts over southern Mexico. Patches of blue sky are beginning to break through. While today is expected to be sunnier and less windy, occasional cloud cover and passing showers may persist, as reported by WSVN. Beachgoers can look forward to lighter winds, surf heights of 1-2 feet, and water temperatures around 80°F, offering a refreshing hint of autumn in South Florida's typically warm climate.

Looking ahead to the work week, a high-pressure system will become the main influence on the region's weather, promising mostly peaceful skies with small chances for quick showers, particularly in the first part of the week as the wind continues to ease down. These tranquil conditions are projected to sustain as we advance towards the weekend, when a mild front could arrive, maintaining comfort with standard temperatures and moderate humidity.

In tropical news, while Tropical Depression Nadine is expected to dissolve after bringing substantial rainfall to parts of southern Mexico, the recent formation of Hurricane Oscar yesterday morning carries more significant implications. Having just hit Great Inagua Island earlier today, it is set to move through eastern Cuba this afternoon as a hurricane and is expected to slowly pivot northward, weakening over the course of the week. The Turks and Caicos, along with portions of Cuba and the Bahamas, are currently under hurricane and tropical storm advisories, as mentioned in WSVN's latest updates.
