Miami Weather: Coastal Flood Advisory Until 8 PM Saturday
A Coastal Flood Advisory is in effect for Miami until 8:00 PM EDT Saturday, as king tides continue — moderate coastal flooding is possible around high tides, so do not drive around barricades or through water of unknown depth, and protect flood-prone property. A Rip Current Statement is also in effect from 8:00 PM tonight through 7:00 PM Sunday — dangerous rip currents are possible at Atlantic beaches, so swim near a lifeguard. Halloween is looking soggy for trick-or-treaters, with showers and scattered thunderstorms expected Saturday. See South Florida Halloween forecast looking soggy for trick-or-treaters.
Otherwise it is partly cloudy and warm in Miami: 84°F around midday, feeling like 91°F, humidity around 74%, northeast winds around 8 mph, and about a 20% chance of rain today, rising to showers tonight. Today’s high: 85°F. Tonight’s low: 78°F. Sunrise was 7:28 AM; sunset is 6:40 PM.
