Miami, Florida – Thunderstorms will batter Miami this weekend, with the heaviest rain and strongest storms expected Saturday afternoon through Sunday night. Residents should prepare for potential flooding, power outages, and travel delays as a 70% chance of rain looms over South Florida.
According to the National Weather Service in Miami, storms may begin as early as Friday night, but activity is expected to intensify Saturday afternoon and persist through late Sunday. The highest risk will come from slow-moving thunderstorms capable of producing localized flooding and frequent lightning.
Saturday’s high near 90°F and southwest winds around 10 mph will fuel afternoon storms, followed by more rounds overnight. On Sunday, Miami and surrounding areas—including Hialeah, Kendall, and North Miami—could see additional downpours and gusty winds, especially after 2 p.m.
Drivers are urged to avoid flooded streets and monitor local alerts. Those in low-lying or flood-prone neighborhoods should prepare sandbags and have emergency kits ready.
Storm activity is expected to ease by Monday, though more showers are possible into early next week. Flash flood advisories may be issued as conditions develop.
