South Florida gets one more round of showers and storms before a cold front brings the coolest air of the fall season this weekend, according to CBS News Miami’s forecast team.
Wednesday stays warm, with highs in the lower to mid 80s. Scattered storms could form along the sea breezes this afternoon, mostly over the interior and the east coast metro area. Forecasters warned of gusty winds, frequent lightning and heavy downpours.
Thursday highs hold near 80 with more showers and storms through the day. The front moves through late Thursday night into Friday morning, and rain chances taper before cooler air settles in Friday night.
Lows could drop into the mid to upper 50s by Saturday morning, with the east coast staying in the lower 60s. Humidity falls with the temperatures, and Saturday’s dew points are expected to bottom out. Saturday afternoon should reach the lower 70s, and Sunday warms back to the mid to upper 70s, near 80 in some spots.
The dry stretch may not last. Forecast models show another disturbance possibly forming a low-pressure system that could track toward Florida early next week. For now, forecasters suggest residents keep a light jacket handy Saturday morning.
