Miami started Thursday, February 12, 2026, on the sticky side, with clear skies, muggy air, and temperatures near 61°F at Miami International Airport. Patchy fog is likely across interior neighborhoods before the sea breeze kicks in, briefly cutting visibility on some roads. The fog will give way to a quick warmup, leading into a sunny afternoon with highs around 77°F.
Morning Fog, Go-Easy Driving
Patchy fog is most likely across inland spots early Thursday, and drivers could run into reduced visibility for a short stretch during the morning commute. Allow extra following distance and slow down if you encounter low clouds or lingering smoke, according to NWS Miami. The fog should thin quickly once the sea breeze develops later in the morning.
Afternoon Sunshine And Light Winds
By midday, conditions turn warm and mostly sunny, with southwest winds around 5 to 8 mph and highs in the mid to upper 70s. Tonight stays mild, with lows in the low to mid 60s. Friday keeps the same basic setup, with highs near 76°F and only isolated shower chances.
Holiday Weekend May Not Stay Quiet
A weak front will slip south and stall across central Florida, bringing only a slight uptick in showers near Lake Okeechobee Thursday night. A deeper trough may move in late Sunday into Monday, February 16, 2026 (Washington’s Birthday), raising the odds for showers and thunderstorms. Forecasters show roughly a 50% chance for Monday, with highs near 80°F, so it is smart to keep outdoor plans flexible for the holiday weekend.
Beach And Boating Outlook
Atlantic seas will generally run 2 to 4 feet, with Gulf waters 2 feet or less, and boaters should use caution around inlets and channels. A moderate rip current risk continues along Palm Beach County beaches today, so follow posted flags and take it easy in the surf. Small craft operators should also keep an eye on increasing east to southeast winds into the weekend.
Bottom line: enjoy the mild, sun-filled stretch, take it slow on any predawn drives through interior neighborhoods, and keep checking the forecast in case the late-week front speeds up. We will update readers if the timing of potential Sunday to Monday storms becomes more certain.
