Miami, FL – Drivers and beachgoers in Miami should brace for scattered thunderstorms and dangerous lightning Saturday afternoon and evening, as Florida’s early summer storm cycle kicks into gear.
According to the National Weather Service, thunderstorms are likely in Miami beginning after 4 p.m. on Saturday, May 31, with a second round possible before 8 p.m. Rainfall totals will be light, but isolated downpours and gusty winds could cause power flickers and localized street flooding, especially along I-95, Biscayne Boulevard, and US-1.
Saturday’s high will reach 90°F, but humidity will spike with increased storm coverage. Residents are urged to delay outdoor plans until late evening and secure loose items ahead of storm gusts. Winds will shift from the southwest at 10 mph by nightfall.
Sunday, June 1, brings widespread showers and possible thunderstorms throughout the day, with peak activity around 2 p.m. The pattern continues into Monday and Tuesday, with daily storm chances ranging from 60% to 80%—particularly in the late afternoon hours.
Expect temperatures to remain near 88°F through Wednesday, June 5, with muggy nights around 77°F. Brief sun breaks may occur between storms, but the risk of cloud-to-ground lightning remains elevated each day.
A seasonal shift is underway, marking the first true taste of Miami’s wet summer cycle. More weather updates and any new advisories will be posted as the summer pattern builds.
