A regular summer event is missing from Sunday’s metro Miami weather forecast
Daily Miami and Fort Lauderdale summer weather forecasts usually can be summed up as “hot, rain, chewy humid, repeat.”
Sunday’s forecast drops one of those.
The National Weather Service predicts a high of 91 degrees with a heat index of 102 degrees Sunday and Monday. That’s higher than usual because the usual daily 15 to 20 minutes of warm-but-cooling rain — just long enough to play the first six songs on Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On” — isn’t expected to return until at least Monday in Miami, Tuesday in Fort Lauderdale.
And, Miami’s Monday maybe for rain is estimated at a slight 20% in the daytime, 10% at night. There’s a 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms Tuesday in Miami and Fort Lauderdale.
So, if you’re going to be outside, take some fluids with you. Check on senior citizens, especially those who might have malfunctioning fans or air conditioners in their homes.
Parents, grandparents, guardians and pet parents, especially if you’re altering your routine, make a habit of looking in the back seat before you lock your car with the windows raised. Many child or pet deaths from hot cars happen when the child or pet is being taken along on a common errand where they’re usually not present.
A disturbance in the Atlantic
Sunday morning, the National Hurricane Center says environmental conditions for a tropical wave about 1,000 miles east-southeast of the Lesser Antilles “appear only marginally conducive for development during the next day or so while the system moves west-northwestward around 10 mph.”
Formation chance through two days: 10%.
