Miami residents should prepare for a week of hot, sunny weather punctuated by occasional storms. The latest weather reports suggest that the South Florida region will remain mostly sunny and persistently hot, with temperatures climbing into the 90s, according to the National Weather Service. Tuesday has started off rain-free, and similar conditions are expected throughout the next few days.
On the humidity front, humid as a soaked sponge, feels-like temperatures are anticipated to push into the mischievous mid-90s by Wednesday and Thursday. "A 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms after 2pm," reports the National Weather Service for Wednesday. And while a few storms might roll in for the later part of the week and the holiday weekend, it seems unlikely that they will be significant enough to dampen the streets for any considerable length of time.
As outlined by NBC Miami's weather prediction, the rest of Tuesday should remain "Mostly sunny, warm and humid," with highs near 91. This sets the tone for the kind of muggy heat South Floridians are well accustomed to. Heat index values on Wednesday could feel as high as 100.
Looking ahead to the holiday weekend, the weather is expected to be mostly sunny and hot, with a chance of isolated storms. According to NBC Miami, Friday will see highs near 93 degrees. Spotty storm chances continue through the weekend and Memorial Day, but no major disruptions are expected for planned picnics and parades.
