When will the bad weather end in South Florida? It could be a few more days
The good news is that forecasters expect Wednesday’s weather to be better than the last three days.
The bad news: Afternoon thunderstorms are still likely for the rest of the week throughout South Florida.
“We seem to be in a pattern of afternoon storms,” said Sean Miller, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. “We think the worst of it is over. But we’re not ruling anything out.”
On Sunday and Monday, torrential rain and powerful winds whipped through Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties, leaving downed power lines, a flipped truck, tumbled trees and hundreds without power.
The weather wasn’t quite as severe Tuesday, although there were at least two “significant weather” advisories issued around 1 p.m. for parts of South Florida including Miami, Hialeah, Coral Gables, Kendall, Doral and Coconut Grove.
Miller said he wasn’t aware of any reports of weather-related issues Tuesday.
By 8 p.m., Miller said the severe weather had already moved through and forecasters were not expecting any storms overnight or in the morning.
“The likelihood of severe weather Wednesday is small, but not impossible,” Miller said.
