Miami, FL – Residents across South Florida should prepare for the possibility of strong storms starting Friday as forecasters warn of an active weather pattern that will continue into the weekend. High temperatures are expected to reach near 90 degrees, with rain chances increasing from late morning into the afternoon.
Storms to Begin Friday Morning
According to the National Weather Service, the first round of showers and storms is likely to begin by late morning Friday, intensifying as the day progresses. Localized gusty winds, frequent lightning, and brief heavy rain could accompany the storms, especially in inland areas.
Impact Weather Through the Weekend
From Friday through Sunday, meteorologists anticipate widespread heavy downpours each afternoon, increasing the risk of street flooding in low-lying areas. Outdoor plans should be adjusted, and residents are advised to stay weather-aware.
The National Hurricane Center is also tracking two tropical waves in the Atlantic, though none are expected to directly impact South Florida at this time.
Tropical Developments in the Atlantic
While much of the focus is on local storms, the remnants of Dexter have transitioned into a storm-force extratropical low. Meanwhile, two additional tropical disturbances continue to develop in the tropics, with forecasters closely monitoring their progress.
How to Keep Yourself Safe in Such Weather
Experts stress the importance of monitoring official updates and preparing for sudden changes in conditions. Tips include:
- Carrying an umbrella or rain jacket if outdoors.
- Avoiding flooded roads when driving.
- Securing loose outdoor items that could be blown away by strong winds.
