Miami, Fla. – South Florida faces a stormy stretch as thunderstorms remain likely through Tuesday, bringing periods of heavy rain, frequent lightning, and potential flooding on already saturated roads. Highs will hold near 88 degrees, but repeated downpours could disrupt weekend plans and evening commutes.
According to the National Weather Service in Miami, storms will begin early Saturday and continue each afternoon and evening, with the heaviest activity expected after 5 p.m. Southeast winds of 6 to 10 mph may push storms inland, where rainfall totals could reach up to an inch per day in localized spots.
Residents across Miami-Dade and Broward counties should prepare for sudden road ponding, reduced visibility, and flight delays at Miami International Airport. Lightning will be a key hazard along the beaches, forcing swimmers and boaters to clear the water during storms. The Florida Department of Transportation urges drivers to slow down and avoid flooded intersections, where vehicles may quickly stall.
Storm chances remain high through Tuesday before conditions gradually ease midweek. More updates are expected as new advisories are issued.
