Miami was starting Saturday humid and around 75 degrees before sunrise, with scattered coastal showers possible, but the calm will not last. Showers and thunderstorms are expected to build later in the day, with the wet pattern continuing through next week and raising concerns about brief flooding in urban and low-lying areas.
Saturday Storms Build Into The Afternoon
Saturday's high should reach about 88 degrees, with an 80% chance of showers and thunderstorms, according to the National Weather Service in Miami. Morning conditions may stay relatively quiet in spots, but storms are expected to become more numerous during the afternoon and early evening.
Rainfall amounts could generally run from a quarter to half an inch, though localized amounts may reach several inches. With weak winds and deep tropical moisture in place, poor-drainage streets could flood quickly, especially where recent rain has already left the ground saturated.
Storm Chances Stay High Through Next Week
Saturday night brings a 50% chance of additional showers and thunderstorms, followed by a 100% chance of precipitation Sunday and a 50% chance Sunday night. Highs will remain near 87 degrees, while overnight lows settle in the upper 70s.
The unsettled pattern then becomes even more persistent Monday through Friday, with precipitation probabilities generally ranging from 70% to 90% and daytime highs near 87 to 88 degrees. The outlook is a wetter update to the earlier Hoodline forecast, so outdoor plans should include a backup and anyone caught under thunder should move indoors; no watches, warnings or advisories are currently listed.
