Miami residents are waking up to a comfortably cool Thanksgiving morning as temperatures hover in the mid-60s. According to the National Weather Service, skies will remain sunny with an afternoon high nearing 82 degrees. A calm wind is set to shift south around 5 mph, creating optimal conditions for holiday festivities.
As the holiday unfolds, an established ridge in the weather pattern ensures continued clear skies with "no rain expected through the holiday," and temperatures are predicted to climb above normal this afternoon, reaching the mid-80s, as observed by NBC Miami's weather report. The light, variable wind flow will maintain these conditions heading into Friday, before winds, and a shift is expected leading into the weekend.
A weak front passing through on Saturday will introduce windier conditions along with cooler, drier air. The high is expected to drop slightly to the upper 70s, with the evening bringing lows in the mid-60s by Sunday. "Mostly clear, with a low around 67," states the National Weather Service on the upcoming conditions for tonight, foreshadowing a gradual descent in temperature but stability in clear skies.
The NBC Miami weather forecast anticipates a secondary cold front next week, promising stronger northerly winds and even lower overnight lows dipping into the upper 40s to low 50s for inland areas, while coastal areas will remain in the upper 50s to low 60s. As a result, high temperatures are expected to, "be stuck in the low 70s for several days early next week." With Monday forecasted to be sunny with north winds ranging from 11 to 14 mph, gusts could reach as high as 21 mph, reminding Miami denizens of the city's susceptibility to ever-shifting winds, even as they navigate the balance of warmth and the incoming cool air.
The forecast for the start of the workweek predicts a significant cooldown. Tuesday will be sunny with a high near 74°F, and clear skies at night.
