Miami woke to mostly cloudy skies Thursday morning, with temperatures around 75 degrees and plenty of tropical humidity hanging in the air. A 20% chance of rain is in the forecast for Thursday, but the broader story is a much sunnier and drier stretch arriving for the weekend.
The National Weather Service puts Thursday's high near 85 degrees, with a 20% chance of precipitation Thursday. Northeast winds will run 7 to 12 mph, and skies should turn mostly sunny.
Sunny Stretch Takes Over For The Weekend
Thursday night should be mostly clear, with a low around 74 degrees. Friday will reach about 85 degrees under sunny skies, while Saturday is expected to be generally sunny and dry. Weekend overnight lows are expected around 70 degrees.
Sunday remains mostly sunny with a high near 83 degrees, though anyone hoping for a crisp fall weekend will have to settle for the usual South Florida version.
Showers Return Early Next Week
Rain chances begin to creep upward Monday, when Miami could see a few showers and an isolated thunderstorm while temperatures reach about 82 degrees. Tuesday brings a 30% chance of rain and a high near 81, followed by Wednesday, Veterans Day, with precipitation chances in the 20% to 30% range and another high around 81.
Coastal Flooding Remains A Palm Beach Concern
A Coastal Flood Statement remains in effect through Thursday evening for coastal Palm Beach County, where isolated minor flooding is possible around high tide. The National Weather Service says water could affect low-lying roads and property, and advises drivers not to travel through flooded roadways.
The current coastal statement is focused on Palm Beach County rather than Miami-Dade, but beachgoers heading north should also note that dangerous beach conditions and a moderate rip-current risk are expected along the Palm Beach coast. The improving, drier forecast is a notable shift from Hoodline's earlier update, which focused on a wetter start to the week and rougher beach conditions.
