Miami, FL – Strong winds are sweeping across South Florida today as a Wind Advisory remains in effect through 7 p.m., creating potentially hazardous conditions for drivers and residents across the region.
According to the National Weather Service Miami office, the advisory has been expanded to include all of South Florida, covering Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Hendry, Glades, and Mainland Monroe counties. The strongest winds are expected as a cold front moves through the area later this afternoon and early evening.
Forecasters report sustained winds between 15 and 25 mph, with peak gusts reaching 35 to 45 mph in some locations. These conditions may make driving difficult, especially for high-profile vehicles such as trucks, vans, and SUVs, particularly on east-west roadways and exposed highways.
The National Weather Service also warns that unsecured outdoor items — including trash bins, patio furniture, and decorations — could be blown around by strong gusts, posing a risk to property and pedestrians. Residents are urged to secure loose objects and use caution when traveling.
Wind advisories are issued when gusty conditions are expected to create inconveniences or hazards, though they fall short of warning-level criteria. Still, officials emphasize that today’s winds could briefly approach damaging levels in isolated areas.
The advisory remains active now through 7 p.m. Sunday, with conditions expected to gradually improve later tonight once the front fully passes through the region.
Drivers, boaters, and outdoor workers are advised to monitor local weather updates and adjust plans as needed.
