MIAMI, Fla. — Before sunrise Saturday, palms sway sharply beneath streetlights as strong Atlantic breezes rake Miami’s shoreline. A steady northeast wind is churning seas and keeping lifeguard flags snapping, with a High Surf Advisory in effect and expected to continue through Monday.
The National Weather Service in Miami reports a persistent onshore flow dominating the weekend. Occasional gusts may reach 30 mph, especially around Biscayne Bay and across the I-195 causeways. Dangerous rip currents are the top concern, and officials urge beachgoers to avoid entering the water through early Monday. Minor coastal flooding could also occur during periods of high tide.
Spotty showers will move through at times on Saturday and Sunday, most likely in the afternoon and evening. Daytime highs will sit in the mid-80s, though the brisk wind will take the edge off near the shore. Sunday features the greatest chance for brief thunderstorms, with activity most likely south of Kendall and toward the Upper Keys.
By Monday, the winds begin to ease slightly, but lingering moisture keeps scattered showers—and a few rumbles of thunder—in the picture. A drier, calmer stretch should settle in by midweek, lining up nicely for early Halloween decorations and outdoor plans.
Residents are encouraged to secure loose outdoor items, monitor coastal advisories, and remain alert for marine warnings through the weekend. It’s another breezy chapter in Miami’s shift from storm season toward the more tranquil feel of late fall.
