Miami, Fla. – South Florida will see a shift from mostly sunny skies today to an active storm pattern by Sunday, with heat indices pushing into the low 100s. While Friday stays dry with only a 5% chance of rain across most areas, humidity and instability will build steadily into the weekend.
According to the National Weather Service in Miami, Saturday’s rain chances rise into the 40%–50% range for many cities by afternoon, with storms most likely during peak heating hours. By Sunday, widespread showers and thunderstorms are expected, with rain probabilities reaching 60%–65% from West Palm Beach to Naples.
Daytime highs will hold in the low to mid-90s each day, with Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Homestead all expected to hit 91°F–93°F. Heat indices could make it feel 8–12 degrees warmer, especially before storms develop. NWS advises residents to stay hydrated, limit outdoor activity during midday, and seek shelter quickly if storms approach.
The weekend’s active weather may bring brief flooding in poor drainage areas, lightning hazards, and gusty winds near stronger storms. Conditions should gradually ease early next week, but additional updates are expected.
