Weather alert: Gray skies mean rain on the way

See the gray sky over Miami? You know what that means.

“Prepare for wet weather that’s coming,” said Barry Baxter, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Miami-Dade.

The cloudy skies are due to a front of low pressure moving down from Central Florida, Baxter said. Essentially, that means more rain for South Florida.

Baxter said showers and thunderstorms will cover 50 percent of Miami-Dade and Broward on Thursday. On Friday, 60 percent of South Florida will be covered.

The good news? Weekend weather is looking up.

“It’s not going to be like what we’ll see today and tomorrow,” Baxter said.

He said it would look more like “typical summertime” weather, with a chance of some scattered showers and thunderstorms.

Until then, umbrellas out.
