MIAMI (CBSMiami) — After a hot, steamy, and sometimes stormy week, South Florida is in for a big change weather-wise this weekend.
Friday will be a transitional day as a cold front is on the way. Instead of highs in the 90s, Friday afternoon, highs climb to the low 80s and we’ll be closer to normal. There will be more clouds around with only a low chance of stray showers.

Friday night skies will gradually clear and lows will fall to the low 60s overnight.
Some inland areas may wake up with the upper 50s Saturday morning. Highs will climb to low 80s and the breeze will build.
There is a dangerous high risk of rip currents at the beach and small craft should exercise caution due to the gusty winds. As high pressure builds in once the front clears, drier air will move in and lower humidity.
The National Weather Service has issued a fire weather watch from Saturday afternoon through Saturday evening due to the low humidity at minimum values of 25 to 35 percent and winds of 15 to 20 miles per hour. Outdoor burning is not recommended.

Sunday afternoon will be stunning with mostly sunny skies and highs in the upper 70s.
