Will it rain on your Mother’s Day plans? How hot will it get? Changes in Miami forecast
Brunching outdoors on Mother’s Day?
If you stay off the boat on Sunday, you and Mom should be OK, albeit a bit steamy.
Mother’s Day forecast
The National Weather Service in Miami is warning of a 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms on Sunday with a high of 90 degrees.
A weak cold front is approaching South Florida, but the relief — temperatures around 83 rather than 90 — won’t be felt until Monday and Tuesday. Before then, the frontal boundary could bring some strong storms on Saturday with hail up to the size of quarters and wind gusts topping 55 mph, the weather service said in a hazardous weather outlook. Saturday’s storm chance is 40%.
There are no current weather warnings for the Florida Keys, however, and rain chances top out at 30% Saturday night. There’s only a slight chance of Mother’s Day soakers on Sunday.
Stick to land
So why did we suggest that land in Miami-Dade and Broward may be your best brunch option?
According to meteorologists the front, weak though it may be, may deteriorate marine and beach conditions this weekend into early next week as north and northeasterly winds whip up the waters. That will bring a high risk of rip currents along the east coast and elevated seas. The rockin’ and rollin’ might spill the mimosas on the boat deck spread.
Miami Beach waterspout
Meanwhile, Friday morning gave early risers in Miami Beach a view of a waterspout. WPLG Local 10 meteorologist Brandon Orr shared a video on Twitter of the bruising clouds and their tail along the skyline in the foreground. But the spout was from an offshore shower and didn’t make it to land.
