Miami, FL – South Florida is set to experience scattered to numerous showers and storms this afternoon as a weak surface trough combines with ample tropical moisture. According to the National Weather Service in Miami, the storms are expected to move across the area today, bringing much-needed rain, though it could also cause localized flooding in some areas.

In addition to the stormy conditions, residents near Lake Okeechobee may notice hazy skies. This haze is attributed to the lingering fringes of smoke from Canadian wildfires, which have been impacting air quality across the United States in recent weeks. The plume of smoke is expected to continue affecting the area, creating potentially reduced visibility and air quality concerns.
