Miami wraps up April with familiar warm and breezy weather. The National Weather Service forecasts mostly sunny skies today, with a high near 80 degrees. The region is ushered by east wind currents at 10 to 14 mph, with possible gusts up to 20 mph, as described in the latest NWS forecast. The consistency of these breezes tends to also cap afternoon temperatures, a pattern reflected in the expected highs for the coming days.
Parallel to this forecast, NBC Miami adds that "gusty east winds have moved back in, and it looks like they will stay for the balance of the week." The advent of these winds possibly brings an escalation in morning temperatures, already noted in the mid-70s, on Wednesday. "Afternoon highs are held down under these circumstances," according to NBC Miami's report, with a slow warming trend guiding us into the weekend.
Looking ahead, Thursday promises to remain mostly sunny, with an east wind around 11 mph and highs near 81 degrees, as included in the forecast provided by the NWS. NBC Miami's reflection on the coming days echoes this sentiment, rendering Thursday not only sunny but similarly warm with breezy beaches, and afternoon temperatures inching upwards to about 83 degrees.
As the week progresses, so does the gradual increase in heat. The NWS speaks of a Friday partly sunny, and thanks to east wind velocities between 7 to 10 mph, it should peak near 82 degrees. In a similar vein, NBC Miami anticipates an afternoon high near 84, signaling a continued "warming trend" into the weekend. Though rain has played coy throughout the week, a "next system" is anticipated by NBC Miami, which could bring much-needed precipitation early next week.
In the transition from Friday to Saturday, the NWS outlines an impending shift in weather dynamics with a 30 percent chance of showers following 2 pm on Saturday. Forecasted highs for the weekend will touch the vicinities of 83 to 85 degrees, exuding typical South Florida warmth. This sentiment is mirrored in NBC Miami's weekend outlook which includes "partly cloudy, humid" conditions, and a "shower or storm."
