Miami residents awoke to a colder than usual Monday morning, with thermometers showing temperatures in the upper 40s. According to NBC Miami's latest weather report, the day started at 47 degrees in both Miami and Fort Lauderdale, with wind chill making it feel more like 43 degrees.
As the day progresses, it's expected to remain windy and cool, with highs struggling to reach 68 degrees. North winds are set to continue, gusting to occasionally up to 25 mph, making it necessary for locals to bundle up against the chill. "Layers and long sleeves may be needed if you'll be out and about tonight," NBC Miami advises, indicating that for the National Championship game, feel-like temperatures will hover in the upper-50s.
Overnight heading into tomorrow, conditions are forecasted to be cold, yet not quite as harsh as the morning. Overnight lows are slated to drop back into the mid-50s, which is still lower than typical for this time of year. As the National Weather Service points out, a gradual warming trend is anticipated, with temperatures climbing into the mid-70s by tomorrow afternoon.
The weather pattern for the coming week shows a breezy trend through the midweek, with each day slightly becoming warmer than the previous through Thursday. "Again, Monday night will be another cool one, still staying cold but not quite as chilly as the morning," according to NBC Miami. Looking ahead, another frontal system is on the approach, likely to bring additional rainfall to South Florida.
Details for the rest of the week's weather align between both forecasts, predicting varying chances of showers from Wednesday onwards, and an increase in temperature peaking near 79 degrees by Thursday. The National Weather Service indicates a 50 percent chance of showers for Thursday, while NBC Miami predicts a slightly lower possibility at 40 percent. As the weekend draws nearer, the probability of rain diminishes, giving way to sunnier skies by Saturday. Both services agree on a mostly sunny Sunday with a high near 81 degrees, wrapping up the week with pleasant weather for South Florida residents to enjoy.
