Don’t expect temperatures to drop much, if at all this week or into the weekend, although some locations could see temperatures “a little below normal” over the weekend, according to several National Weather Service offices in the state.

On Saturday night, there may be some lows in the mid to upper 60s in some areas but for most of the state, low temperatures will be in the low to upper 70s.

Saturday temperatures will be mostly in the mid to upper 80s and into the low 90s. Some areas in South Florida could see a heat index in the upper 90s to low 100s.

The National Weather Service Weather Prediction Center said there is a “slight risk of excessive rainfall” as a front lingers over the Sunshine State through Friday, Sept. 12.

“Tropical moisture will pool over Florida and the Central Gulf Coast, aiding in the development of showers and thunderstorms that will bring heavy rain to Florida and along the Central Gulf Coast.”

“Wash, rinse and repeat today,” the National Weather Service Melbourne posted on X, warning there is a marginal risk of excessive rainfall Sept. 10.

The National Weather Service Miami warned numerous showers and thunderstorms were expected across most of South Florida this afternoon and into the evening.

“Heavy downpours with high rainfall rates could lead to additional flooding this afternoon especially across the east coast metro areas.”

One to two inches of rain is expected this afternoon, but “there is a 1 in 10 chance of 3-4+ inches where multiple rounds of heavy downpours occur.”

“Most of the Florida Peninsula will pick up 1-3 inches of rain from Monday through Friday, Sept. 12. Some areas may receive 3-6 inches with locally higher totals,” according to AccuWeather.
