Miami, Florida, is experiencing partly sunny skies on another December day. The National Weather Service reports moderate warmth, with a high near 77 degrees and an east wind at 6 to 10 mph. While the mornings are cool, the afternoon will warm up. However, these easterly winds bring a high risk for rip currents at the beaches, which both beachgoers and lifeguards should be aware of.

The forecast predicts low chances of rain, promising a pleasant day. "Look for a similar forecast into Tuesday as well," according to NBC Miami. The National Weather Service also expects partly sunny conditions for the start of the week, with Tuesday's temperature reaching a high near 79 degrees.

The weather may change slightly during the holiday season as humidity and moisture levels increase, bringing a chance of light showers. Rain chances are expected to be around 20 to 30 percent, meaning any showers are unlikely to disrupt plans. Tuesday evening could see an increase in rain chances, with mostly cloudy skies.

On Christmas Day, temperatures are expected to reach a high of 79 degrees, with a 20 percent chance of showers after 1pm, according to the National Weather Service.

NBC Miami also predicts mostly cloudy conditions and a 30 percent chance of rain, providing a mild break in the weather during the holiday celebrations.
