How much longer will the rain come down on South Florida?
After a chilly, soggy weekend, South Florida could soon see some sun.
The region was dealing with another swath of heavy rains Sunday night. The National Weather Service also issued Tornado Warnings for Miami Gardens, Miami Lakes and Opa-Locka until 8:30 p.m.
“The good news is that by Monday afternoon the rain chances significantly drop,” said Anthony Reynes, a senior forecaster with the National Weather Service.
And the forecast gets better.
“Tuesday is going to be a perfect day,” he said, saying the rain chances are slim and the sun will shine.
The weekend washout was a result of the tail end of a cold front mixing with a low-pressure system.
But most of the system is expected to have moved away from South Florida by Monday afternoon. The National Weather Service forecasts for Miami-Dade and Broward counties say the rain chances will drop to 20 to 30 percent by Monday, then disappear by Monday night-Tuesday morning.
The rain will behind a bit of a chill. Temperatures are expected to dip into the 50s Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday morning.
A 20 to 30 percent chance of rain returns Thursday night to spend next weekend in South Florida.
