South Florida will get some much-needed rain this week.
Tuesday will start out relatively dry, with easterly sea breezes pushing thunderstorms inland, but that will change Wednesday, as winds shift to southeasterly, said National Weather Service meteorologist Nico Porcelli. “There’s going to be a surge in moisture from the south,” said Porcelli. “That’s going to raise chances of precipitation.”
Chances of precipitation will rise as the week progresses. Wednesday has a 40% chance of rain, increasing to 60% to 75% Thursday through Saturday.
Maximum temperatures for the week will stay in the high 80s to low 90s across the region, with slightly hotter temperatures inland.
