Front

Warm and humid days with scattered storms are expected to continue this week, including a chance of severe storms on Wednesday and Thursday. A front will move through the region early next week, bringing cooler temperatures and lower humidity.

Drier air is moving into South Florida, providing a temporary break from rain with increased sunshine and warmer temperatures near 90°F by the weekend. A returning front may bring rain by Sunday, while northeast winds with gusts up to 20 mph pose a high risk of rip currents at beaches.

South Florida experienced widespread rain on Wednesday with limited heavy rainfall reducing flood risk, though isolated flooding remains possible. Rain will decrease by Thursday as a front moves south, leading to drier conditions by the weekend before returning to warmer, wetter weather next week.

Miami set a new high temperature record in the mid-90s, while Key West tied the record high for the Lower Keys at 91 degrees. The heat index reached triple digits, followed by storm clouds and an approaching front expected to bring unsettled weather and increased rainfall through Friday.

South Florida will experience cloudy weekends with showers and storms, higher thunderstorm chances on Sunday afternoon, and upper-80s temperatures. Next week begins with heavy rain Monday through Wednesday due to pooled moisture, followed by drier conditions later in the week. Beachgoers face a low rip current risk this weekend.
