Miami, Florida – Thunderstorms and gusty winds could disrupt commutes across Miami on Tuesday, bringing a spring weather alert to drivers and anyone planning to use I-95 or other major roadways. Rapid changes in weather will raise concerns for traffic safety and outdoor plans, with showers and possible thunderstorms arriving late Tuesday morning and intensifying into the afternoon.
According to the National Weather Service, Miami faces a 40% chance of rain and storms after 11 a.m. Tuesday, paired with east winds at 14 to 16 mph and gusts reaching 21 mph. These conditions will likely reduce visibility and create slick spots on I-95, the Dolphin Expressway, and surface streets across Miami-Dade County. Local emergency managers urge residents to avoid unnecessary travel during downpours, secure loose outdoor items, and be alert for quickly changing conditions.
Tuesday night will stay breezy and partly cloudy, with gusts as high as 20 mph. On Wednesday, mostly sunny skies will return, but winds will persist, with east gusts up to 20 mph keeping conditions fresh and slightly cooler. Daytime highs will range from the upper 70s to low 80s, a relief for those working or exercising outdoors, though it’s wise to stay hydrated.
By midweek, Miami’s weather calms, with mostly sunny skies expected Thursday and Friday and temperatures returning to the low 80s. Nighttime lows stay mild, ranging from 73°F to 76°F, reducing risk for sudden temperature drops but keeping humidity elevated. Spring allergies may linger, especially after Tuesday’s rain.
