Miami-Dade welcome back to school! Although we are wishing you an A+ day, unfortunately the forecast will be more of a C. At least to start off you can expect a mix of sun and clouds, but have the rain gear with you because as we heat up into the low 90’s. scattered storms are likely to develop between 2-4pm. Plenty of tropical moisture in the air will leave our pattern unsettled through the weekend. Models are evening calling for better than 3 inches of rain in some areas with a high flood risk.

Late-Week Storms, Nice Weekend

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:44:05 GMT

More clouds than sun kick off this Thursday morning as temps and dew points run in the 60s, making it feel very similar to what we had stepping out the door yesterday morning. Clouds will occasionally break for some sun today, allowing for a bit better of an afternoon, although it’ll run cooler than average once again. Humidity increases through the day as highs run in the mid 70s. Humidity continues to increase this evening as some scattered showers and storms develop overnight. We’ll track scattered showers and storms tomorrow too as a cold front plows toward the region. With high humidity in place and strong winds aloft, a few of the storms tomorrow could be strong to severe with strong wind gusts and downpours. While the risk is low, it’s not zero, that an isolated brief tornado could spin up as some storms may exhibit rotation. Something to keep an eye on. Once the storms clear late Friday afternoon, the humidity drops off and we dry out for the weekend. Satur...
