MIAMI, FL – Choppy waves crash along the shoreline this morning, sending salt spray over the boardwalk as palm trees bend slightly in the onshore breeze. Streets near Biscayne Bay glisten under rising tides, and beach patrols post red flags—clear warnings that the Atlantic remains rough and potentially dangerous.
According to the National Weather Service in Miami, a Coastal Flood Statement remains in effect through this evening, with a High Rip Current Risk continuing until 8 a.m. along Miami-Dade beaches. Minor tidal flooding may develop on low-lying roads near the bay and barrier islands, while rip currents could sweep even experienced swimmers away from shore. Residents and visitors are urged to avoid flooded roadways and stay near lifeguards if entering the water.
Scattered showers may linger through midmorning before skies gradually brighten. Highs will climb into the mid-80s under warm, humid air as light southeast winds strengthen later in the day. Tuesday and Wednesday bring mostly sunny skies and calmer seas, although a persistent east breeze will keep conditions breezy near the coast.
By midweek, drier air filters southward, trimming humidity and improving comfort levels across Broward and Miami-Dade counties. Winds may gust to 20 mph along the beaches Thursday, but the weather turns ideal for outdoor plans—warm, bright, and less sticky than recent days.
Heading toward the weekend, no major fronts are expected, though forecasters hint at a modest cool-down by next week—a subtle signal that South Florida’s long, humid summer is finally giving way to its early fall transition season.
