Local Forecast
Conditions promise to be windy and not as wet as Saturday. However, deep moisture is still hanging around, so look for on and off rain showers. The highest rain chances (30-40%) will be for Miami-Dade and the Florida Keys. By Sunday night, the winds will start to improve and turn breezy between 15-20 mph. This will set the stage for a great start to the week, which marks the official start of Fall.
Another area of high pressure is forecast to build in from the North to draw in drier air and bring down the humidity Tuesday through Thursday. Overall, it will be nice with a seasonable feel. High temperatures will range in the upper 80’s with lows in the middle to upper 70’s.
