Miami Afternoon Weather: Monday Turned to Light Drizzle — Code 51 — and Election Day Slipped Again, to 34 Percent

Miami's afternoon is warm, bright at the edges and damp in the middle. The station's live Open-Meteo feed read 81.3 degrees at midday, feeling like 86.9, under a mostly cloudy sky (code 2) — and Monday's own classification has changed again, to light drizzle (code 51), at a high of 82.1, a low of 75.3 and a rain chance of 36 percent. It is the fifth distinct Monday call in five files from this desk (drizzle, showers, rain, showers again, overcast, and now drizzle once more) — less a forecast flip-flopping than a sky that keeps sitting exactly on the border between categories, on a day when the National Weather Service keeps a flood watch over South Florida and expects more rounds of showers into the evening.

Election Day's number, by contrast, moves in only one direction. Tuesday's rain chance slipped again at midday — 35 to 34 percent — holding an overcast code (3), a high of 81.0 and a low of 75.6. The trend across three days of files is now 60, 43, 35 and 34: the wet Election Day this desk warned about on Sunday has been dissolving, file by file, into a grey and mostly dry one. The flood-watch framing still applies to low spots and saturated ground — several inches fell in parts of Miami-Dade this weekend — but the trip to an assigned precinct on Tuesday now looks, on the feed, like an umbrella-in-the-car trip rather than a raincoat one.

The rest of the week continues the drying pattern. Wednesday's drizzle chance fell from 43 to 33 percent (code 51, high 82.7), Thursday's sits at 18, Friday turns overcast and nearly dry at 4 percent, and the weekend keeps the week's highest temperatures — 84.1 on Saturday and 84.3 on Sunday. November in Miami is not done with rain, but on the feed, the rain is done with this week.
