<\/h1>\n<\/h1>\nSaturday, May 25 \u2013 Miami, Florida<\/strong> \u2013 After a volatile Friday of severe weather<\/strong>, South Florida<\/strong> saw a brief return to calmer skies early Saturday morning<\/strong>. But according to Local 10 meteorologist Brandon Orr<\/strong>, that peace may not last, with a renewed threat of scattered storms<\/strong> looming for the afternoon and evening.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sunny skies<\/strong> over Miami-Dade<\/strong>, Broward<\/strong>, and Monroe Counties<\/strong> drew crowds to coastal areas like Hollywood Beach<\/strong> early in the day. Orr<\/strong> described the conditions as \u201cmostly dry between now and 1 o\u2019clock,\u201d<\/strong> with clear skies dominating the morning hours<\/strong>. But he warned that from 1 to 3 p.m.<\/strong>, the first signs of instability<\/strong> would likely appear, with storms developing inland<\/strong>, particularly in western areas<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The greatest likelihood of thunderstorms<\/strong> is expected between 3 and 8 p.m.<\/strong>, although not on the same scale as Friday\u2019s outbreak. The Storm Prediction Center<\/strong> has placed much of Central and South Florida<\/strong> under a marginal risk<\/strong> for severe weather \u2014 the lowest tier, but still capable of producing isolated severe events<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Possible impacts<\/strong> include damaging wind gusts<\/strong>, hail<\/strong>, frequent lightning<\/strong>, and localized flooding<\/strong>. Some areas may avoid rainfall altogether, but the potential for pop-up showers<\/strong> means outdoor plans<\/strong> could be affected with little notice.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The atmospheric conditions remain favorable for thunderstorm development<\/strong>, fueled by high humidity<\/strong> flowing in from the Bahamas<\/strong>, elevated wind shear<\/strong>, and heat-driven instability<\/strong>. According to Orr<\/strong>, these ingredients are \u201cchecking off the list<\/strong>\u201d for storm formation<\/strong>, even if the threat isn\u2019t as intense as the day before.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Highs on Saturday<\/strong> are forecast to reach around 90\u00b0F (32\u00b0C)<\/strong>, with humidity levels<\/strong> making it feel even warmer. Beach conditions<\/strong> remain relatively calm, with surf below one foot<\/strong> and green flags<\/strong> flying. However, there\u2019s a moderate risk of rip currents<\/strong>, especially for less experienced swimmers.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As the Memorial Day weekend<\/strong> continues, spotty afternoon storms<\/strong> are expected to repeat on both Sunday and Monday<\/strong>, keeping the pattern of intermittent rainfall and brief thunderstorms<\/strong> alive.<\/p>\n Visitors heading to Sunrise<\/strong> for Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final<\/strong>, where the Florida Panthers<\/strong> will face the Carolina Hurricanes<\/strong> at Amerant Bank Arena<\/strong>, should be prepared for passing showers<\/strong>, especially during late afternoon hours.<\/p>\n \u201cNo day is a washout,\u201d<\/strong> stressed Orr<\/strong>, but each afternoon brings the chance of scattered storms<\/strong>, with highs holding steady in the upper 80s to around 90\u00b0F (31-32\u00b0C)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Saturday, May 25 \u2013 Miami, Florida \u2013 After a volatile Friday of severe weather, South Florida saw a brief return to calmer skies early Saturday morning.
