Miami Weather: Election Day Dries to 23 Percent — but Monday Evening Just Jumped to 48
Tuesday's rain chance fell for the sixth file running, to 23 percent, with the warmest Election Day high yet at 82.8. The evening in front of it moved the other way: Monday's chance rose to 48 percent, and Wednesday's code-82 showers still wait at 58.
Miami cooled into a grey Election Eve: the station's live Open-Meteo feed read 76.4 degrees, feeling like 79.8, under overcast skies (code 3) at the evening read. Monday itself is the mover in this file — its rain chance climbed to 48 percent from 36 at mid-afternoon, with a high of 82.3 and a low of 75.3. Anyone heading out tonight — last errands, campaign lit drops, a ballot still to hand-deliver before tomorrow's 7 p.m. receipt deadline — should plan on the chance of a wet hour.
Election Day, by contrast, will not stop drying. Tuesday's rain chance fell again — the sequence across this desk's files now reads 60, 43, 35, 34, 30 and 23 percent — while the forecast high rose to 82.8, the warmest Election Day call yet, with a low of 74.7 and overcast skies. The wet voting day that opened this desk's week has dissolved on the feed into a grey, warm and mostly dry Tuesday: polls open at 7 a.m. under clouds, not storms.
And the rain, as this desk noted this afternoon, has an address: Wednesday. Wednesday held at code 82 — rain showers — with a 58 percent chance, a high of 82.7 and a low of 75.3, still the wettest day of Miami's week. After it, the drying resumes in earnest: Thursday light drizzle at 18 percent, Friday overcast and nearly dry at 6, and a warm, bright weekend — 84.1 Saturday, 84.3 Sunday. Vote dry Tuesday. Keep Wednesday loose.
