Miami's weather forecast promises a mix of sun and clouds with chances of showers looming over the coming days, according to the National Weather Service. The latest report specifies a 50 percent chance of rain today, predominately before 5 pm, with mainly sunny conditions and a high around 88 degrees; the wind will cross the region southeast at 8 to 13 mph. Tonight, residents can expect a decrease in rain likelihood down to 20 percent, under mostly clear skies and an 80-degree low.
In continuation of this trend, the NWS forecasts "a chance of showers, with thunderstorms also possible after 11am" on Friday, which looks to stay mainly sunny with a similar high near 88 degrees; the weekend sees a reduced 30 percent chance of rain, fostering primarily sunny weather and persistent temperatures approaching 88 degrees.
NBC 6 Miami reports a "thin layer of Saharan dust" over the area, which is expected to help suppress rain chances for Thursday and Friday. A high-pressure system will also keep most showers near the coast in the morning before pushing them inland by afternoon. The dust may bring some hazy skies to Miami and is contributing to a drop in rain chances — down to just 10% for Father’s Day weekend.
Looking ahead, as per the NBC 6 outlook, a dry air mass is en route to South Florida, which should further lessen rainfall probability through the holiday weekend, allowing highs to stabilize around 90 degrees; the forecast anticipates this dry period will linger into the next week, offering respite from the typical humidity and scattered thunderstorms otherwise, it's business as usual for Miami's summertime climate which tends to oscillate between steamy sun and sudden tropical downpours.
Overall, locals and visitors can expect typical Miami summer weather: hot and sunny with a chance of afternoon thunderstorms. Saharan dust and high-pressure systems may slightly affect conditions, but brief showers are still likely as the day heats up.
