Miami, Florida – Summer storms are set to dominate the start of June across South Florida, with Miami facing daily afternoon thunderstorms and rising flood risks through Thursday.
According to the National Weather Service, a pattern of heat and tropical moisture will fuel scattered thunderstorms beginning Sunday, June 1. Rain chances surge as early as 11 a.m. Sunday, with a high near 89°F. A second round of storms is expected by late afternoon. Winds will remain light but shift westward, signaling stronger inland development.
Localized street flooding and brief power outages are possible each afternoon, especially near low-lying areas and along I-95 during peak travel hours. Residents should avoid driving through flooded roads and remain alert for rapidly changing conditions.
On Monday, storms are likely again by early afternoon with highs near 85°F. Precipitation chances rise to 60%, and heavier rainfall is expected into Monday night. By Tuesday and Wednesday, storm intensity may increase, with 70% chances of thunderstorms both afternoons. Rainfall totals may exceed one inch per day in some spots.
By Thursday, conditions remain unstable with a continued 50% storm chance. Temperatures hold steady in the upper 80s, typical of early summer in South Florida. Brief breaks of sun between storms will keep humidity levels high and heat indices in the low to mid-90s.
Though Canadian wildfire smoke may linger aloft into early next week, air quality is expected to remain moderate across Miami-Dade.
Looking Ahead:
The summer trend continues with scattered storms expected daily through Friday. Miami residents should prepare for wet commutes, afternoon delays, and stay weather-aware as warnings may be issued daily through June 5.
