Miami Afternoon Weather: 77 Degrees and Drizzle Under the Flood Watch — and Tuesday's Thunderstorms Have Left the Forecast
Miami sat at 77 degrees in light drizzle early Sunday afternoon, feeling like 84, with Sunday's rain chance easing to 58 percent - and the Election Day thunderstorms in this morning's outlook have been replaced by drizzle at 50 percent.
Miami's Sunday afternoon has settled into the Flood Watch pattern at its mildest setting. The temperature stood at 77 degrees early in the afternoon, feeling like 84, under weather code 51 - light drizzle - according to the station's live Open-Meteo feed. Sunday's overall code is now 82, rain showers, with a high of 79.5, a low of 72.2 and a precipitation chance of 58 percent, eased down from the 65 percent carried late this morning.
Monday is unchanged in shape: code 82 rain showers, a high of just 76.6, a low of 71.4 and a 62 percent rain chance - still the wettest day of the week and the back end of the Flood Watch window. The material change is Tuesday. Election Day, which this morning's feed carried as a thunderstorm day (code 95) at 62 percent, now reads code 55 - drizzle - with a high back up to 83 and the precipitation chance down to 50 percent. Voters heading to precincts on Tuesday are, on the current feed, looking at a damp day rather than a stormy one.
The rest of the week holds the drying pattern: Wednesday showery at code 80 with a 41 percent rain chance and a high of 83.3, Thursday and Friday both at code 51 drizzle with chances falling to 22 and then 9 percent and highs of 83.9 and 85.1, and Saturday nearly clear at code 1 with a high of 85.7. The practical read for the rest of Sunday: drizzle and showers rather than downpours, wet roads for the final early voting hours and the 4:25 p.m. Eastern kickoff in Miami Gardens, and a Monday that remains the week's rain day.
