Good Morning South Florida! The hot, humid and hazy weather pattern continues this Sunday due to lingering Saharan dust. Expect highs in the low 90s but feels-like temperatures in the 100-105F range That will come with some isolated showers, especially during the morning and midday hours near the ea
Key takeaway Later this week a weak front will move in, increasing our rain chances to near typical levels of 40-50%, meaning scattered afternoon thunderstorms will be possible.
Why this matters in The Miami
The hot and hazy weather pattern gripping Miami is a stark contrast to the city's typically wet June. As the 6th driest start to June on record, Miami's drought map shows some improvement, particularly in the Everglades and inland areas of Miami-Dade. However, the dry conditions may have unintended consequences for the city's infrastructure, particularly in low-lying neighborhoods like Miami Beach and Little Havana, which are already prone to flooding. The return of a wetter pattern later this week may bring some relief, but it also poses a risk of flash flooding in areas with poor drainage. As the city looks ahead to the 4th of July weekend, residents in flood-prone areas should be prepared for scattered thunderstorms and potential flooding. The weak front moving in later this week may also impact outdoor celebrations and events, making it essential for organizers to have contingency plans in place.
