Miami, FL – Evening storms are rolling into South Florida Thursday night, bringing heavy rain, thunder, and a risk of flash flooding for Miami commuters. Drivers on I-95 and the Dolphin Expressway should expect delays as rainfall intensifies, especially during the overnight hours into Friday morning.
According to the National Weather Service in Miami, showers and thunderstorms will continue through at least Friday night, with rain chances holding at 80 to 90 percent. Winds from the southwest may push heavy cells inland, creating ponding on low-lying roads across Miami-Dade County. Travelers should avoid flooded intersections and keep an emergency kit in vehicles.
Friday’s conditions look stormy again, with widespread showers before 5 p.m. and stronger thunderstorms possible in the evening. High temperatures will reach the upper 80s, but heat will feel more oppressive in the thick humidity. Residents are urged to secure outdoor items and monitor alerts in case of lightning or power outages.
Storms linger through the weekend, with only brief breaks of sun between passing systems. Coastal neighborhoods from Miami Beach to Key Biscayne face the highest chance of strong downpours and gusty winds. Interior neighborhoods, including Kendall and Hialeah, could see flooding in poorly drained areas.
By early next week, South Florida remains locked in a wet pattern. Rain chances stay near 60 percent Monday and Tuesday, keeping roads slick during morning commutes and evening rush hours.
Warnings remain in effect through Friday night, and additional advisories may follow into next week. Residents should prepare for more rain before conditions improve midweek.
