According to the NWS Miami office, a 20-30% chance of showers and isolated thunderstorms will sweep across Miami and surrounding areas on Sunday and Monday. Highs will reach the mid-80s, while overnight lows hover around 77-79 degrees. Showers and storms are likely to peak during the afternoons, with increasing rain chances toward Tuesday as a front moves closer to the region.
Starting Tuesday, rain chances escalate to 40%, with a mix of showers and possible thunderstorms.
