Miami Sunday Weather: 1 to 3 Inches of Rain, Then Thunderstorms Monday and Tuesday
Miami's wet turn is now a three-day story: drizzle and a 60 percent rain chance Sunday with 1 to 3 inches of rain possible into Monday, thunderstorms Monday at 66 percent - and the station feed now carries thunderstorms on Election Day Tuesday too.
Halloween night is the dry end of the weekend. Miami read 77.9 degrees, feeling like 83.1, on the station's live feed Saturday evening after a high of 83.1, with Saturday's rain chance at 25 percent - the pattern this desk has carried all day. What changes is everything after midnight.
Sunday turns to drizzle (weather code 53) with a high of 81.8, a low of 73.5 and a 60 percent precipitation chance on the feed - and the National Weather Service's Miami forecast, as summarized in the weekend reporting read by this desk, puts generally 1 to 3 inches of rain on South Florida from Sunday into Monday, with locally higher amounts that could cause flooding. The surf stays dangerous alongside it: a high rip current risk runs through Sunday evening, and a High Surf Advisory carries breaking waves of 5 to 10 feet for Broward beaches and 6 to 10 feet for Palm Beach through Sunday at 7 p.m.
The feed's newest signal is Tuesday. Monday remains the storm peak - thunderstorms (code 95), a high of 80.9 and a 66 percent rain chance - but Tuesday, Election Day, now also reads thunderstorms on the feed, with a high of 82.2 and a 45 percent chance, where earlier outlooks had it easing to drizzle. Wednesday returns to drizzle at 23 percent and Thursday clears entirely (code 0, high 85.8). Voters, boat-show drivers and the Dolphins' and Inter Miami's Sunday crowds all share the same advice: the rain is coming in bands, and the driest hours of the next three days are the ones happening now.
