The Hyundai Air & Sea Show<\/a> in Miami Beach on Saturday and Sunday. The waterfront Best of the Best Music Fest reggae and dancehall concert event Sunday afternoon at Miami\u2019s Museum Park. The Great American Beach Party at Las Olas Oceanside Park in Fort Lauderdale on Saturday.<\/p>\n

These Memorial Day weekend outdoor events demand the best weather South Florida can provide and, more or less, that\u2019s what we\u2019re going to get.<\/p>\n

That is, unless \u201chot and steamy<\/a>\u201d with forecast high temperatures soaring to around 90 degrees and feels-like temperatures in the mid-90s makes you wince. The forecast from CBS News Miami meteorologist Lissette Gonzalez also calls for a 20% chance of a \u201cfew showers\u201d on Saturday and Monday. She puts Sunday at a 30% shot of \u201cspotty showers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her forecast mirrors the National Weather Service in Miami\u2019s predictions \u2014 a Saturday night 40% rain chance is the high-water mark for this weekend\u2019s wettest time.<\/p>\n

The weather service\u2019s Sammy Hadi says that drier air moved into the eastern half of South Florida Thursday morning, which will keep rain chances low into Friday.<\/p>\n

But that is expected to change after Memorial Day, Hadi predicts. Expect a wet end to the month as showers and thunderstorms arrive starting Tuesday night and Wednesday. Afternoon and evening storm chances grow to 60% across South Florida.<\/p>\n

We may then start to see the real start to our rainy season. Hadi foresees a 60-70% chance of \u201cabove normal precipitation\u201d for the South Florida region in the next 8 to 14 days.<\/p>\n
