Rain ahead of cold front is forecast

South Florida hasn’t seen any real rain so far in 2021, but that could change by Wednesday.

Miami-Dade, Broward and the Florida Keys have the best chance for rain on Wednesday, with the National Weather Service in Miami forecasting a 50% chance (40% in the Keys) ahead of the next cold front. After highs in the upper 70s Tuesday, temperatures will be “seasonally cool” by midweek, the weather service said. Expect lows of 62 degrees Thursday morning, and chillier Friday at 58, according to CBS4 meteorologist Lissette Gonzalez. Wednesday will be the warmest day, with a high of 80 and low of 68 degrees, she said.

Friday will see temperatures notch up a bit, with the weekend looking nice with highs of 72 and lows of 66. Spotty showers are possible — a 30% chance, the weather service said — on Saturday and Sunday.

The cold front could bring rougher seas, though, the weather service said.
