Miami. Dangerous rip currents, thunderstorms rolling in, and a choppy onshore mess.
The setup behind all this is an upper-level low sitting over the Bahamas, with a Gulf ridge building on the other side. That pressure gradient is squeezing the atmosphere and intensifying that easterly flow right over South Florida.
One thing worth flagging. Air temps are sitting in the upper eighties, but with humidity it's feeling closer to ninety-five.
Tuesday isn't clean either. Storm potential persists through the morning and into midday, with systems expected to push inland through the afternoon.
Two weeks from the official start of hurricane season, and we're already seeing what South Florida summers look like. Scattered daily storms, onshore flow, choppy nearshore.
