The arrival of a cold front was responsible for the occurrence of some severe storms on Thursday, and it will continue to do so on Friday.
Thursday’s storm chances are expected to begin sooner than Friday’s, as early as noon, although they are expected to peak in the middle of the afternoon.
In the event of isolated severe storms, Miami-Dade and Broward counties will bear the brunt of the impact; the most significant concerns are wind and hail, in addition to isolated flooding.
Therefore, it is possible that the rain will be widespread for a few hours, but the hazards of severe weather and flooding are isolated.
What kind of weather can we expect in South Florida for the Memorial Day weekend?
There have been some optimistic indicators for Sunday and Monday, with only some isolated to scattered storms which are primarily well inland and away from the beaches. The holiday weekend is not perfect, but there have been some encouraging signs for Sunday and Monday.
The only day that could not be so nice is Saturday, when there is a greater likelihood of rain across the entire region. The rain was not of the washout variety, but it was definitely more active than the preceding days.
In short…
FRIDAY: Partly sunny. Strong afternoon storms. Rain: 50%. High: 91°.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Scattered storms. Rain: 40%. High: 89°.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Widely scattered storms, mainly inland. Rain: 30%. High: 90°.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Isolated storms. Rain: 20%. High: 90°
