Miami, FL – The National Weather Service in Miami is closely monitoring a low-pressure system forming in the northwestern Caribbean Sea. The system currently has a 20% chance of developing into a tropical disturbance over the next seven days, according to the latest forecast. While the risk remains low, South Florida residents are encouraged to stay alert.
The system is projected to move slowly north or northwest through next week. Although it’s too early to determine any potential impact on South Florida, forecasters stress the importance of reviewing hurricane preparedness plans as we remain in the peak of hurricane season. Residents should stock up on emergency supplies and ensure they have updated evacuation routes.
According to the National Hurricane Center, the system’s current trajectory doesn’t pose an immediate threat. However, tropical weather patterns can change quickly, so coastal areas should continue monitoring developments.
In addition to the tropical disturbance, South Florida is facing a Heat Advisory through Wednesday, with heat index values reaching 105-107°F. Thunderstorm activity later in the day may bring slight relief. Additionally, a Coastal Flood Advisory remains in effect until at least Friday afternoon. Minor to moderate coastal flooding is possible, especially during high tides.
The extended forecast shows daily highs around 90°F throughout the week. Rain chances remain elevated, with a 65% chance of thunderstorms today, dropping to 50% through Friday. Saturday and Sunday could see slightly lower rain chances at 40% and 35%, respectively.
Forecasters urge boaters and residents in low-lying areas to be cautious of King Tides and possible flooding. Boaters should be aware of reduced clearances under fixed bridges.
