Miami is experiencing cooler weather this morning following a blustery Thanksgiving. NBC Miami reports that temperatures started in the upper-50s to low-60s with a strong breeze gusting 20 to 30 mph. The forecast expects highs to reach only about 75 degrees today, with a continuation of cloud cover.
Beachgoers should take note of the high surf advisories due to 5 to 8-foot breaking waves and potential high rip current dangers. According to the same source, these conditions, along with small craft advisories, are likely to persist through Sunday due to the windy weather.
As we move into the weekend, Weather.gov anticipates another brisk start on Saturday, with temperatures in the low-60s. Saturday afternoon's weather should bring a shift in winds—from north to east—and an isolated chance for showers, but mostly it's expected to remain dry with highs in the mid- to upper-70s.
Sunday marks both an uptick in temperature and the chance of rain, with a 30% chance of hit-or-miss showers. "Mostly sunny, with a high near 81," as described by Weather.gov, the climate will nudge closer to the seasonal norm. Additionally, Sunday represents the end of Hurricane Season, potentially closing a book on a period often fraught with weather anxieties.
For those traveling this weekend, it's important to consider possible delays at local airports, not due to weather in Miami but on account of a significant winter storm affecting other parts of the U.S. NBC Miami suggests keeping this in mind as it may impact arrival and departure schedules.
Looking ahead, expect a sunny Monday with a high near 83 and light east winds. The gentle shift in the weather suggests pleasant days ahead as South Florida emerges from the Thanksgiving holiday and the close of the tropical season.
