Miami Weather: Grab Your Umbrella, Stormy Conditions Expected Tuesday

MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Keep that umbrella handy. It has been a soggy Tuesday across South Florida and we will likely see another round of showers and storms as we head into the late afternoon and evening due to a low pressure system spinning across the Southeast.

This storm system has been funneling in a very warm and moist air mass from the Gulf of Mexico and across Florida the past couple of days.

The result is a very humid and warm day across South Florida with some thunderstorms firing up this morning and through the afternoon that produced some heavy downpours and gusty winds. Although some areas are seeing some improvement in comparison to earlier today, we will likely see more waves of rain moving in.

The Storm Prediction Center has highlighted three-quarters of the Sunshine State under a Marginal Risk for severe storms which includes Broward, Miami-Dade and the Keys.

A marginal risk means that there is a chance for isolated severe storms that are capable of producing damaging wind gusts of at least 60 mph, the slight risk small hail and heavy rain.

Also, an isolated Tornado or funnel cloud cannot be ruled out.

The atmosphere remains moist and unsettled. Models are forecasting the potential for more showers and possible storms for the evening commute.

The worst of the weather should end by Tuesday night as the front moves away from our area. Some scattered showers will be possible later tonight

By Wednesday morning, lots of clouds and a few leftover showers will trail behind the front.

However, a gradual clearing is expected throughout Wednesday afternoon.

While this is a cold front moving through, it does not have cold air behind it.

So, with more sunshine returning after the front clears then that means even warmer temperatures are in store for the end of the week but it will be less humid.
