The pattern is fairly consistent across Miami-Dade and Broward counties.<\/p>\n<p>It appears there will be roughly less than an inch of rainfall over the next seven days, but there may be a couple of pockets that pick up 2 to 3 inches, Hadi said. But the sun will come out in the afternoon, with high temperatures in the upper 80s.<\/p>\n<p>Those who plan to enjoy the sun should be aware of a high risk of dangerous rip currents for all east coast beaches through Monday.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s getting more humid and hot outside, Hadi said. While the region won\u2019t be seeing record-high temperatures during the next few days, there could be a moderate heat risk because of high humidity values. There will be a \u201cgreat ocean breeze\u201d by the coast, but the inland area may feel hot in the afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure to take breaks from the sun in the shade or in air conditioning, Hadi said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf there is ample sunshine and you\u2019re outdoors, make sure you&#8217;re hydrated,\u201d Hadi said. \u201cMake sure you wear loose-fitting clothing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.miamiherald.com\/profile\/313699071\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"author-thumb\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1779048789_164_Headshots AGS 036 .jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" alt=\"Profile Image of Sofia Saric\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>\n                    <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rain chances for Sunday, May 17, 2026.
