South Florida residents should prepare for a wet Labor Day. Monday morning temperatures were in the upper 70s to low 80s with a brief break in showers, but the rain is set to return.
Afternoon storms forecast
Showers are developing in far‑southern Miami‑Dade and the Upper Keys. While they will stay south this morning, additional storms are expected to form by midday and become widespread by mid‑afternoon. Heavy rain rates could lead to standing water, and the precipitation may linger into the early evening.
Heat and humidity
Highs before the storms are projected to reach near 92°F. Although the humidity will keep heat‑index values in the low 100s, the afternoon downpours should provide brief relief from the oppressive heat.
What to expect this week
The unsettled, wet pattern will continue throughout the week, with daily afternoon downpours. High temperatures will remain near the seasonal norm of about 90°F, with occasional spikes just above that level.
Residents are advised to monitor local forecasts, avoid low‑lying areas prone to flooding, and plan outdoor activities accordingly.
