Miami is starting Sunday with a brief wet spell before the forecast flips to sunshine and serious heat. Early conditions near Miami International Airport were light rain and about 81 degrees, with east winds around 12 mph, but the day is expected to climb to around 89 with a heat index as high as 106.
Sunday Heat Will Feel Much Harsher
Sunday is expected to be mostly sunny, with southeast winds between 8 and 14 mph and only a small chance of rain. The National Weather Service says inland suburbs could see major heat risk as apparent temperatures reach the low 100s. People sensitive to heat should limit prolonged outdoor time and take precautions.
Coastal Flooding Remains Possible Through Monday
Along the coast, a Coastal Flood Statement covers coastal Miami-Dade through Monday morning. Isolated minor flooding is possible around high tide, with water reaching some low-lying roads and property; residents should not drive through flooded roadways, according to the NWS alert. The latest outlook updates Saturday's Hoodline forecast by extending the flooding concern into Monday morning.
Monday Brings A Front And A Wind Shift
Monday will be a little less hot, with a high near 88, mostly sunny skies before 2 p.m. and a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms afterward. Monday night temperatures should fall to around 77 as winds turn northeast.
Tuesday looks sunny near 87, with a drier-feeling air mass behind the front. It will not be a cool snap, but the lower humidity should provide a noticeable break from Sunday's heavy, sticky feel.
Wet Weather Builds Toward Next Weekend
Rain chances rise later in the week: Wednesday has a slight chance of showers after 2 p.m., Thursday could bring thunderstorms, Friday has about a 30% chance of showers, and Saturday brings a chance of storms. Highs remain in the upper 80s, so the week trends wetter without delivering much temperature relief.
