South Florida stays mostly dry Wednesday as Tropical Storm Bertha meanders in Gulf

Summary by The Miami Editorial Desk · Based on reporting by CBS Miami, CBS4 Miami · July 22, 2026 · 1 min read

It's going to stay mostly dry across South Florida on Wednesday, but the chances for showers and storms will increase over the weekend. This comes as Tropical Storm Bertha continues to meander in the Gulf.

Why this matters in The Miami

As Tropical Storm Bertha lingers in the Gulf, Miami-Dade County residents can expect a brief reprieve from heavy rainfall on Wednesday. However, the upcoming weekend may bring increased chances of showers and storms, posing a threat to outdoor activities in popular areas like Miami Beach and Wynwood. Given Miami's history of flooding, particularly in low-lying neighborhoods like Little Havana, residents should remain vigilant and monitor weather updates closely. The city's stormwater management systems will be put to the test if heavy rainfall materializes, and residents in flood-prone areas should take necessary precautions to protect their properties. With the Atlantic hurricane season in full swing, Miami's emergency management officials will likely be keeping a close eye on Bertha's trajectory, ensuring that the city is prepared for any potential impact.
