Miami woke Monday to a few clouds, temperatures around 77 degrees and a steady northeast breeze. The city should stay mostly sunny through the afternoon, but winds will remain strong enough to make the day feel more like a coastal weather event than a quiet fall morning.
Sunny Monday Brings Strong Northeast Winds
Monday's high should reach about 84 degrees, with possible showers Monday afternoon. Northeast winds of 21 to 24 mph may gust up to 30 mph, while Monday night drops to around 77 with a 30% chance of showers before early Tuesday.
The drier setup is a notable shift from Sunday's wetter forecast. Hoodline's Sunday weather report focused on repeated storms and heavier rain, while the latest outlook calls for only isolated, generally weak showers across Southeast Florida early this week.
Tuesday And Wednesday Stay Mostly Dry
Tuesday should reach about 83 degrees, with a slight shower chance from late morning through noon before skies turn mostly sunny. Northeast winds will remain near 22 mph, then ease Wednesday as sunny conditions return with a high near 84.
Wednesday night should be mostly clear with a low around 74. The quieter stretch will not last long, however, as rain chances increase Thursday and become more persistent heading into the weekend.
Storm Chances Rise Thursday Through Sunday
Thursday brings a chance of showers and thunderstorms, with a high near 83. Friday's chances are 20% by day and 30% at night, while Saturday's is 65%. Sunday could bring showers and thunderstorms.
Daytime highs should remain in the low to mid-80s through the weekend, while overnight lows are forecast in the upper 60s to low 70s during the middle-to-end-of-week period. Outdoor plans may get a few dry breaks, but late-week beach, boating and event plans should allow for sudden showers and thunderstorms.
Rip Currents Remain Dangerous Along The Coast
A high risk for rip currents continues through Thursday evening along the Atlantic beaches of coastal Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties. The National Weather Service in Miami advises swimmers to stay near a lifeguard, relax and float if caught in a rip current, and avoid swimming directly against it.
Small Craft Advisories also remain in effect through Wednesday across local waters. Atlantic seas could reach 10 to 14 feet Monday and remain elevated through midweek, making the breezy conditions a serious concern for boaters as well as swimmers.
