Miami residents, get ready for a day full of sunshine and breezy conditions! As of Thursday morning, the city is experiencing clear skies with a comfortable 67°F (19°C). But before you make any outdoor plans, there’s an important weather alert you need to know about.
Fire Weather Watch in Effect
The National Weather Service has issued a Fire Weather Watch for Miami from 11 AM to 7 PM today. This means that dry conditions, combined with strong winds and warm temperatures, could create a high risk of wildfires. Residents are urged to be extra cautious with any open flames, avoid outdoor burning, and properly discard cigarette butts to prevent accidental fires.
Today’s Forecast
Expect a beautiful day with plenty of sunshine and a high of 77°F (25°C). However, don’t let the pleasant temperatures fool you! Winds will pick up from the northwest at speeds of 10-13 mph, with gusts reaching up to 20 mph. This could make conditions feel cooler at times, but it also contributes to the fire danger.
Looking Ahead: Weekend Warm-Up
Miami is in for a stretch of gorgeous weather, with temperatures gradually rising over the next few days:
- Friday: Another sunny day with a high of 77°F (25°C). Winds will be lighter, shifting southeast at 5-7 mph.
