Miami locals experienced what might be the driest day of the year so far yesterday, following the passage of a cold front through the region. NBC Miami reported a dew point in Miami of 27°, a value that would be significantly dry even in January, and for late March, it is notably rare. The downside of this dryness, however, comes in the form of challenges for controlling ongoing fires in the area. According to forecasters, the gusty winds that blanketed the area have subsided, which should help concentrate smoke and haze over a smaller geographic area, potentially aiding firefighting efforts.

As per National Weather Service forecast, the weekend outlook suggested calm winds for this evening with a low of 59°, providing a crisp and clear night for Miami. 

Sunny and refreshing, states NBC Miami, with an expected high of 77° and zero percent chance of rain. The calm winds should persist, likely containing the smoke over the Homestead area, as opposed to allowing it to spread widely as seen in previous days.

The weather is projected to shift slightly as we head into the new week. Tomorrow will see mostly cloudy skies with a high near 77, as indicated by the National Weather Service.

Moving into Monday, conditions are expected to become more humid and partly cloudy with a slight increase in the possibility of rain, according to NBC Miami, which predicts a rain chance of 10% and a high of 83°.

Looking further ahead, a 30 percent chance of showers will loom over Tuesday afternoon, with the likelihood of showers and thunderstorms before 2 a.m., then a slight chance of showers into the night, per the National Weather Service. The chance of precipitation lingers into Wednesday, with a slight possibility of showers before 8 a.m. and the prospect of showers and thunderstorms between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m., then again there's a chance of showers after 2 p.m. But for those seeking sunshine, Thursday promises a return to sunnier skies with a high near 80°.
