Miami Weather: Election Day Dries to 30 Percent — but Wednesday Just Turned Stormy, Code 82 at 58 Percent
Tuesday's rain chance fell for the fifth file running, to 30 percent, with a warmer high of 82.7. The week's weather did not vanish — it moved: Wednesday flipped from light drizzle to code-82 rain showers at 58 percent, the wettest call on the board.
Miami's late afternoon cooled a touch and stayed grey: the station's live Open-Meteo feed read 78.7 degrees, feeling like 81.8, under overcast skies (code 3). Monday itself flipped back to overcast from the midday file's light drizzle, holding a 36 percent rain chance, a high of 82.3 and a low of 75.1 — one more border-category wobble in a day that has spent itself under a South Florida flood watch, with the totals from this storm already filed by this desk (Miami 1.57 inches; 3 to 5 in Pinecrest and Coral Gables).
Election Day, though, has finished drying. Tuesday's rain chance fell again — 35, 34 and now 30 percent across today's three files — while the forecast high rose to 82.7 and the low eased to 74.7, still overcast. The progression since Sunday now reads 60, 43, 35, 34, 30: the wet Election Day that opened this desk's week has dissolved, on the feed, into a grey and mostly dry voting day. Voters heading to assigned precincts at 7 a.m. are planning around clouds, not storms.
The rain went somewhere, and the feed says where: Wednesday. Wednesday's call changed category entirely between the midday and afternoon files — from light drizzle (code 51) at 33 percent to rain showers (code 82) at 58 percent, a high of 82.7 and a low of 75.3 — making Wednesday, not Tuesday, the wettest day of Miami's week. After that the drying resumes: Thursday light drizzle at 18 percent, Friday overcast and nearly dry at 6, and a warm, bright weekend at 84.1 Saturday and 84.3 Sunday. The week's shape is now simple: vote dry Tuesday, stay flexible Wednesday.
