Miami, FL – South Florida kicks off the week with rising spring temperatures and growing beach hazards as a moderate rip current risk remains through Wednesday, with thunderstorms expected Tuesday across coastal cities like Miami, Broward, and Palm Beach. Swimmers and spring breakers are urged to avoid the Atlantic waters, especially near popular stretches along A1A and I-95 corridors, due to elevated surf conditions.
According to the National Weather Service in Miami, beachgoers from Palm Beach to Miami-Dade should expect dangerous currents through midweek. A weak frontal boundary will stall over South Florida, bringing a 40% chance of afternoon showers and isolated thunderstorms Tuesday. Gusty winds and breezy conditions are likely, especially near the coast, increasing water hazards and reducing visibility for boaters.
Winds will shift from southeast to northeast on Wednesday, keeping beaches choppy. Wednesday’s weather will be mostly sunny, with highs near 80°F and breezes up to 15 mph, making for a cooler, drier day.
Looking ahead, the five-day forecast shows improving spring conditions. Thursday and Friday bring sunshine with highs in the upper 70s. Another chance of showers returns Saturday, with a 20% chance of rain.
Action Steps:
- Avoid swimming in unguarded areas along Atlantic beaches.
- Small vessels should monitor marine conditions closely.
- Keep rain gear handy for Tuesday and check local forecasts for updates.
