Miami, Florida – Afternoon storms will return to South Florida on Thursday, putting Miami drivers and beachgoers on alert after 2 p.m.
According to the National Weather Service, scattered showers and thunderstorms will begin moving into the region by mid-afternoon Thursday, with a 30% chance of rain and lightning. Winds out of the southeast at 8–10 mph could push heavier cells inland. The strongest activity may bring brief street flooding, especially along U.S. 1 and I-95 during the evening commute.
Rain chances will rise slightly into Thursday night before tapering off early Friday. While Friday brings a lower chance of storms (20% before 6 a.m.), the weather remains humid and unstable heading into the weekend.
Localized impacts could affect travelers headed to Miami Beach, Brickell, and Coral Gables. With storm timing favoring late-day activity, residents should avoid non-essential outdoor plans after lunch. Lightning remains a threat even in brief downpours — remember the rule: when thunder roars, go indoors.
Storm coverage expands again Saturday afternoon and Sunday, with heat indices nearing 95°F. Keep an umbrella handy and monitor updates from the National Weather Service Miami office.
Warnings remain possible through the weekend. The next weather update is expected by 6 a.m. Friday.
