Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Miami FL Issued by National Weather Service Key West FL 755 PM EDT Tue Apr 29 2025
New UPDATE
UPDATE
Issued at 751 PM EDT Tue Apr 29 2025
The showers and isolated storms that was over the western areas of South Florida early this evening have moved into the Gulf waters this evening. These showers and storms should dissipate through rest of the evening hours. The forecast shows this and no changes are planned at this time.
SHORT TERM
A backdoor frontal boundary is moving across South Florida today with an increase in convective activity in progress. A passing shortwave, diurnal heating peaking, and available moisture will contribute to an atmosphere capable of supporting showers and possibly some thunderstorms this afternoon and evening. Activity should peak late afternoon into the evening before diminishing late evening as the focus of activity shifts offshore.
Behind the front comes drier air with rain chances decreasing tonight into Wednesday. Wednesday should generally be a dry day with temperatures reaching into the 80s. Some portions of Southwest Florida will reach the upper 80s thanks to easterly flow that allows the air mass to warm as it crosses the peninsula.
LONG TERM
Late This Week...
High pressure will build back into South Florida for late this week behind the passage of the back door front. This will allow for an easterly wind flow to set up with mostly dry conditions over South Florida.
Highs will be in the 80s each day except around 90 over the west coast metro areas. Lows will be in the 60s, except lower to mid 70s over the east coast metro areas.
This Weekend Into Next Week...
Another cold front will be approaching the Florida Peninsula this weekend before stalling out over Northern/Central Florida early next week. This will allow for some moisture to return to South Florida during this time frame. Therefore, POPS will be increasing this weekend and by early next week be in the 30 to 50 percent range. This rainfall will be beneficial for the area due to the ongoing drought over the region.
Highs will be in the 80s each day over most of the region except for the west metro areas where it will be around 90. Lows will be in the 60s over most areas except in the lower to mid 70s east coast metro areas.

Issued at 710 PM EDT Tue Apr 29 2025
