Will it rain on Easter and Passover? What to know about changing Miami forecast
It’s a holy week. But will it be a rainy one?
With Passover starting Wednesday night and Good Friday leading into Easter Sunday, will the Seder or sunrise Mass or the egg hunt get wet?
The forecast calls for a 20% rain and thunderstorm chance for most of the week through Sunday.
The rains on Sunday and stretching into Monday are moving out.
Monday, a bad beach day with risky rip currents through Wednesday evening, “is really the main event when we’re going to see our highest rain chances of 50% — but 20% as we head into the rest of this week and lower into this weekend,” CBS News Miami meteorologist Lissette Gonzalez said during her Monday morning broadcast.
Passover weather
As the weeklong Passover holiday begins on Wednesday, and as families take to the roads for the ceremonial dinners the first two nights of the holiday, expect temperatures around 75. There’s a 10% rain chance Wednesday and just under 20% Thursday, according to the National Weather Service in Miami. Rain chance is around 10% Wednesday and just under 20% Thursday.
Visiting the Keys?
The temperatures will be about the same as Miami’s, but there’s a higher rain and thunderstorm chance in Key West of just over 20% Wednesday and around 30% Thursday.
Easter weather
Easter Sunday — and the preceding Saturday — should hit 82 with lows around 73.
Rain and thunderstorm chances are just under 20% in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale area, according to the weather center. Lower rain chances in the Keys, around 10%. Easter Sunday.
