Miami, Florida – Scattered storms could roll into South Florida by early Saturday afternoon, bringing lightning, slick roads, and brief downpours across Miami. Drivers and beachgoers should plan for delays and possible flooding on low-lying routes like U.S. 1 and I-95, especially after 2 p.m.
According to the National Weather Service in Miami, a 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms is forecast for Saturday afternoon, with most activity hitting between 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. New rainfall amounts could top a quarter inch in isolated areas. Winds from the southeast may gust up to 14 mph, with a high near 89°F and a heat index around 95°F.
Saturday night may see additional storms before 11 p.m., but Sunday’s storm risk ramps up again with widespread showers and possible thunderstorms after 11 a.m. Residents across Miami-Dade and Broward counties should stay weather-aware and limit outdoor activity during peak storm hours. Power outages, minor flooding, and reduced visibility are possible during downpours.
By Monday, the weather briefly eases, though a 30–50 percent storm chance remains through Tuesday. The pattern of afternoon thunderstorms is typical for late June in South Florida, but localized hazards remain.
Weekend Safety Tips:
- Avoid driving through flooded roads
- Secure loose outdoor items
