Miami weather today brings a dramatic shift from the record heat of Saturday—showers and thunderstorms are likely this afternoon with a high near 83°F, and the National Weather Service warns that heavy rainfall, lightning, and gusty winds will be the main hazards.
After a quiet early morning with just a 30% chance of scattered showers overnight, conditions deteriorate significantly by midday. The forecasters at the National Weather Service Miami office expect the peak storm activity to hit between 1 PM and 5 PM ET, with rainfall amounts between three-quarters and one inch possible. A marginal risk of excessive rainfall exists over the urban southeast coast, particularly from 9 PM to midnight ET, so be prepared for localized street flooding in low-lying areas around downtown Miami, Wynwood, and along the Miami River corridor.
If you’re planning to catch the Miami Marlins vs. Philadelphia Phillies at loanDepot park today, bring an umbrella and be ready for delays—80% chance of precipitation means the game could see interruptions. If you’re attending, grab a Miami Marlins jersey or Miami Marlins fitted cap to show your support, and Find tickets on StubHub if you’re still looking for seats.
For outdoor plans around Wynwood Walls, Vizcaya, or South Pointe Park, postpone to Monday morning—the storms should clear by dawn. The same goes for any Everglades airboat tours or beach days. Instead, this is the perfect weather for a cozy indoor meal. A programmable slow cooker is your friend on a day like this—start a batch of chili or beef stew this morning and come home to comfort food. For a hearty soup or stew, grab an enameled cast iron Dutch oven to create something memorable. Need ingredients? You can order groceries on Amazon and have everything for tonight’s dinner delivered to your door.
Sunday night stays wet, with showers and thunderstorms likely before 7 PM ET and scattered chances lingering through 5 AM Monday. Temperatures drop to around 75°F with northerly winds 7–10 mph.
Looking ahead: Monday improves as the frontal boundary stalls just south of the region. By midweek, above-average temperatures return. The Miami Marlins vs. Philadelphia Phillies game on Monday, May 4th should see better conditions—plan accordingly if you’re heading back to loanDepot park.
For concerts this week, the Guns N’ Roses: World Tour 2026 hits Hard Rock Live on May 5th, and Sting 3.0 Tour takes the stage at Hard Rock Live on May 6th—both indoor venues, so no weather worries. Find tickets on SeatGeek for either show, and grab a Sting t-shirt to complete your concert look.
