h1: Miami Weather Forecast
Miami is expected to experience rain and possible flooding today, with a 70% chance of storms developing as early as midday and continuing into the early evening hours.
h2: Current Weather Conditions
After thunderstorms rolled through South Florida on Monday, it seems the next few days are in for much of the same: a semi-persistent pattern of dry mornings and stormy afternoons. The National Weather Service said in a post on X, "Numerous showers and thunderstorms will develop once again across the region especially during the afternoon and evening hours. High rainfall rates along with slow moving thunderstorms will create the potential for localized flooding."
h3: Rainfall and Flooding
We saw some big rain amounts on Monday with many spots dealing with flood advisories and flash flood warnings. Doppler estimates showed 3 inches or more of precipitation around Parkland, and another bullseye of 3 inches or more around Hallandale Beach. On top of that, we saw a large area of 2-4 inches of rain from downtown Miami west to Doral and south to Coral Gables. As if that wasn’t enough, 2-4 inches of rain also fell from Country Walk, south to the Redland and east to south Allapatah.
The rain made for a rough afternoon and evening commute, but there is a silver lining. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport officially picked up 2.32 inches on Monday, dropping its yearly rainfall deficit to -12.70 inches. Miami International Airport saw 3.59 inches, dropping its yearly deficit to -5.57 inches. These numbers basically mean both areas still need a good 6-12 inches of rain to erase the drought.
h4: Weather Outlook for the Week
We will rinse and repeat right through Friday—with rain chances at or above 60%—before a possible change as a front limps through the region. That front could lower rain chances and bring a slight dip in humidity and temperatures. Highs may even struggle to hit 90 degrees.
h5: Flooding in South Florida
The National Weather Service warned that "high rainfall rates along with slow moving thunderstorms will create the potential for localized flooding." This is a concern for residents, especially after the heavy rainfall on Monday.
h6: Conclusion
In conclusion, Miami is expected to experience rain and possible flooding today, with a high chance of storms developing in the afternoon and evening hours. Residents are advised to be prepared for potential flooding and to stay up to date with the latest weather forecast.
