South Florida residents celebrating Easter Sunday<\/a> can expect off-and-on showers throughout the day, with the NEXT Weather team<\/a> warning to keep umbrellas handy for church services and outdoor activities.<\/p>\n

Light, fast-moving showers were already moving onshore early Sunday, primarily impacting Miami-Dade County<\/a>, including areas like South Beach, Liberty City and Kendall, with a few showers extending into parts of Broward County<\/a> such as Pembroke Pines. The rain will not be a washout, but rather a series of brief showers continuing through the morning hours.<\/p>\n

Spotty showers expected through Easter morning<\/p>\n

The unsettled weather is expected to ease around midday, offering a break for afternoon plans, before a chance of additional showers returns later in the evening. Temperatures will remain warm and muggy, with highs in the low 80s across the Miami metro area and mid-80s in the Florida Keys<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Beachgoers heading to Miami Beach<\/a> will find mostly cloudy conditions with temperatures in the mid-70s, but a high rip current risk remains in effect. Officials are urging people to stay out of the water. Boaters are also advised to use caution, with a small craft advisory in place for Atlantic waters and the Keys.<\/p>\n

More significant rain and storms ahead<\/p>\n

While Sunday’s rain is expected to remain light and scattered, a more active weather pattern will develop in the coming days. A frontal system moving into the region is expected to bring widespread rain and thunderstorms from Tuesday through Thursday.<\/p>\n

Rainfall totals could reach up to 4 inches in parts of Broward and between 2 to 4 inches across Miami-Dade. Rain could help ease ongoing drought conditions, but also warn that periods of heavy rain may lead to localized flooding.<\/p>\n

For now, residents are advised to plan for changing conditions throughout Easter Sunday, and to keep rain gear close by as a wetter pattern settles in for the week ahead.<\/p>\n
