Miami, FL – Afternoon storms could disrupt plans across Miami on Tuesday as heat index values climb to near 100°, creating a hot and unstable setup for scattered thunderstorms. The highest risk will come after 2 p.m., when rapid cloud buildup could bring heavy downpours, frequent lightning, and brief wind gusts.
According to the National Weather Service, Tuesday’s storms will mainly develop inland before pushing toward the coast through the evening. Southeast winds of 5 to 10 mph and the hot, humid air will help fuel the activity. Locations from Little Havana to Coral Gables and along U.S. 1 could see ponding on roads during heavier bursts of rain, and lightning may briefly halt outdoor sports and construction.
While storm coverage will drop overnight, similar patterns could return later in the week, with the next notable rain chance arriving Thursday afternoon. Residents should hydrate, limit strenuous outdoor activity during peak heat, and have shelter options ready if skies turn dark.
