Miami residents can expect to nearly brush against record-high temperatures today, with forecasts calling for mid-80s, pushing close to the historical peaks for Miami at 86 degrees and Fort Lauderdale at 87 degrees. The National Weather Service indicates a mostly sunny forecast, with a high near 84 and gusts as high as 20 mph. A "slight chance of showers" is on the agenda between 8 pm and 9 pm tonight, with the chance of precipitation sitting at 20%.
The swells of heat are expected to persist, as Wednesday will only see a tepid front passing through, purportedly to only slightly diminish the warmth. "We are forecasting mid-80s with humidity," states NBC Miami, presaging another round of heat to come this weekend. Temperatures are projected to "race back into the mid-80s again this weekend" despite the weak front's efforts to do otherwise.
Rainfall predictions appear minimal, with both sources forecasting scant precipitation throughout the week. According to the National Weather Service, there's a "20 percent chance of showers after 1am" on Saturday night. Later in the weekend, the possibility of a few showers rolling in increases, although still remaining underwhelming in likelihood.
Those looking to maximize their time under the South Florida sun will find Thursday and Friday most accommodating, with "mostly sunny" skies predicted and no rain to disrupt outdoor plans. The temperate clime is set to persist through the night hours, as NWS alerts to "mostly clear, with a low around 70" for Friday night. Sliding towards the latter part of the weekend, Miami natives may have to contend with a "20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms" on Sunday night, yet this does not seem to significantly unsettle the prevailing patterns of warmth.
