Travelers and residents in South Florida, especially around Miami, should get ready for heavy rain and thunderstorms on Tuesday, June 3rd. The National Weather Service says there is a 90% chance of rain and storms from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Some places might get 1 to 2 inches of rain in just one hour. This could cause flooding, especially in low-lying areas along U.S. Route 1. Winds might get strong, up to 18 mph in the afternoon.
Storms Could Start Earlier and Continue Into the Night
The thunderstorms might begin as early as late morning and last through the evening. The chance of rain stays very high at 90% even on Tuesday night. Winds will blow from the southeast at 11 to 13 mph, and there will be a risk of lightning. People living in Miami should avoid unnecessary travel during the worst storms. It’s also important to keep flashlights and phone chargers ready, and secure outdoor items so they don’t get damaged. Smoke from Canadian wildfires is also making the air hazy, which can lower visibility.
Rain and Storms to Continue Through Midweek
The rain is expected to continue through the middle of the week. On Wednesday, there is an 80% chance of storms, with wind gusts up to 21 mph. Even though Tuesday’s storms will be the strongest, scattered thunderstorms could return on Thursday and Friday. Travelers should be careful and stay updated on weather alerts. Warnings will stay active through late Wednesday, and more may be issued.
