Miami’s weather is expected to shift from the recent cooler conditions. According to the National Weather Service, there is a 50 percent chance of showers today, mainly between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m., with a high near 70 degrees and changing wind conditions throughout the day. A slight chance of showers will continue into the evening, with temperatures falling to around 55 degrees overnight.
The more notable changes are expected over the weekend. NBC Miami reports that a cold front is forecast to move through South Florida on Saturday, bringing a significant decrease in temperatures. Wind gusts could reach up to 26 mph on Saturday, and by Sunday morning, parts of Miami-Dade and inland Broward County may see temperatures in the mid-30s, with wind chills in the upper 20s. A freeze watch is currently in effect for these areas.
The colder conditions are expected to be brief. While temperatures Monday morning are forecast to be similar to Sunday’s, lighter winds are expected. As reported by the NWS, temperatures will gradually increase through the week, with sunny conditions and a high near 59 on Monday. By Wednesday, skies are expected to be mostly sunny, with highs approaching 72 degrees.
NBC Miami notes that temperatures are expected to gradually rise heading into next week, stating, “We slowly pull out of the chill as we go through next week.” The forecast indicates a return to more typical South Florida conditions, with morning temperatures in the 60s and afternoon highs in the 70s by midweek. While the colder period may be brief, milder conditions are expected to follow.
