Miami residents can expect a blend of sun and storms this Monday as a recent cold front brings gusty conditions and a high risk of rip currents along the coast.

Looking ahead, Miami is set for a gradual warm-up starting Tuesday. The forecast, detailed by officials, indicates mostly sunny days with morning temperatures in the low 60s and afternoon highs increasing from the mid-70s into the 80s by the end of the week.
