MIAMI – Some showers and a few storms moved across parts of South Florida early Friday morning.
It was a warm start with temperatures in the upper 70s and low 80s. The National Weather Service has not issued a heat advisory for the day due to all the rain we had on Thursday and the rain expected on Friday. Highs will climb to the low 90s and feel like the 100s when you factor in humidity.
Scattered storms will develop in the afternoon with the potential for heavy downpours and localized flooding. The east breeze will build to 10 to 15 miles per hour and that will help to steer storms inland and to the west at times.
There is a high risk of rip currents along the Atlantic beaches from 8 a.m. Friday through Saturday morning. Beachgoers should avoid swimming in the ocean. If they do go in the water, stay near a lifeguard. The National Weather Service says “If caught in a rip current, relax and float. Don’t swim against the current. ” There are no advisories for boaters over the Atlantic or Keys waters.
NEXT Weather
This weekend deep tropical moisture will increase the chance of rain. While it is not expected to be a complete washout, scattered storms will develop on Saturday and Sunday. It will not be as hot due to the wet weather and the ocean breeze. Saturday highs climb to the upper 80s instead of the low to mid 90s. Sunday highs will be seasonable near 90 degrees.
