The Miami climate is currently under the influence of a stubborn front that refuses to part ways with South Florida, delivering sporadic showers around the area today. According to the National Weather Service, this weather pattern isn't making any swift exits, which means locals can anticipate high temperatures to hover just over 70 degrees – noticeably below what's typical for mid-January. The NWS goes on to detail that there's "a 50 percent chance of showers," with the possibility of "new precipitation amounts between a half and three quarters of an inch possible."
As for the weekend, there appears to be a break in the gloom. The stalled front is finally showing signs of movement northward come tonight, setting the stage for what seems to be an atmospheric swap out. The switch to southerly and southwesterly winds will enable both drier skies and a rise in the mercury to slide into the forecast. NBC Miami notes, "Gusty winds and 80s are expected both Saturday and Sunday," offering a pleasant preempt to Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
The impending pattern shift implies that tomorrow should greet residents with partly cloudy skies, sans much anticipated precipitation. If plans call for outdoor activities, the weekend is your ally with the warmth slated to linger through Sunday. "Partly cloudy, warm and breezy," describes NBC Miami, painting a picture of rather ideal weather conditions for the tail end of the weekend.
However, yet another front is on the horizon, racing towards us by late Sunday, which should bring our slice of the subtropical back down to seasonable temps for MLK Day. The National Weather Service projects "a 30 percent chance of showers, mainly after 1pm" for the holiday, accompanied by a high near 70 degrees. Temperatures at night are expected to settle down to around 62 degrees, leading into a week where shower chances and cloud coverage persist, but not without teasing the potential for clearer skies ahead.
