Miami's dry spell ended on Saturday with light rainfall. Both Miami International Airport and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport recorded 0.03 inches of rain, ending Miami's 33-day dry streak, the longest since 1999, and Fort Lauderdale's 32-day dry period, the longest since 2012, according to the WSVN.
In the week ahead, South Florida residents can expect occasional showers and the possibility of an isolated thunderstorm. Northeast winds will bring a 20% chance of showers after 4 pm today, with similar forecasts throughout the week, as per the National Weather Service. These conditions are caused by onshore winds and increased moisture from the Atlantic.
The weather will gradually calm over the next few days as winds subside, improving marine conditions by midweek. On Monday, northeast winds will be around 14 mph, with gusts up to 18 mph, decreasing to southeast winds around 6 mph by Wednesday night.
As the holidays approach, a potential cooling trend for Miami is expected, though weather models have not yet agreed on the specifics. The possibility of cooler temperatures around Christmas is still uncertain, and residents are advised to stay updated as the forecast evolves.
