Miami starts Thursday mostly clear and warm, with temperatures around 75 degrees early and a high near 85. The sunshine will hold for most of the day, but coastal flooding remains the bigger concern as South Florida heads toward a much wetter Halloween weekend.
Coastal Flooding Remains The Main Concern
A Coastal Flood Advisory remains in effect through 8 p.m. Thursday for coastal Miami-Dade and Broward counties, with moderate flooding possible during high tide. The National Weather Service says lots, parks and roads could flood, with isolated road closures possible.
Drivers should allow extra time, avoid barricades and never drive through water of unknown depth. The latest advisory extends the coastal concern covered in earlier Hoodline coverage as high tide continues to create problems along the waterfront.
Sunny Thursday With A Brief Storm Chance
Thursday should be mostly sunny, with northeast winds around 9 mph and a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms.
Thursday night will be partly cloudy with a low near 77, with a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms. Friday should remain mostly sunny and warm near 85 degrees, though scattered showers and a few storms are possible before late afternoon, with northeast winds of 10 to 15 knots.
Halloween Weekend Turns Wetter
Rain chances increase Friday night, then jump Saturday as showers and thunderstorms become likely. Saturday's high should reach about 85 degrees, with east winds and gusts up to 21 mph; the rain chance is 50% Saturday.
Sunday looks like the wettest day, with a 60% chance of showers and thunderstorms. Highs should reach around 84 degrees Sunday and 83 degrees Monday, while rain chances ease to about 20% by Tuesday and Wednesday.
