The weather in Miami continues to serve up its classic mix of sun and surprise showers as we head into the weekend. According to The National Weather Service, today's sky will mostly be sunny with a fine spray of showers possibly drifting through before 3pm – attributing to a slim 20% chance of rain. The high should rest near the comfortable 85°F mark, however, accompanying gusts could reach upwards of 31 mph, quite the spirited dance of wind if one is attempting an outdoors adventure.
Rip currents are on a high risk along the coast thanks to the sprightly northeast wind, cautioning beachgoers and pushing boaters to postpone their excursions, as highlighted in the small craft advisory. With a pattern of partly cloudy skies anticipated for tonight, the thermometer is expected to dip to a low of around 77°F, while the wind persists with its zesty refrain, gusting equally as it had during the day, "unfortunately boating an beaching looks like a difficult ask this time around" as NBC Miami notes.
For those peeking ahead into the weekend, Saturday and Sunday huddle around the mid-80s for the high, with windiness persisting. Showers also look to play a part in the weekend's narrative, as "scattered showers" coupled with a 40 percent rain chance have a date on Sunday's agenda, all while the sun doggedly maintains its post in the mostly clear skies.
Early predictions for next week hint at potential respite from the humid clutches with the anticipation of a front that could usher in cooler temperatures and a relief from the muggy grasp. "Something to watch for the middle of next week," teases NBC Miami.
