Temperatures in Miami are set for a rollercoaster ride, with a chilled out Easter on the horizon and a sizzling forecast for next week. According to the National Weather Service, locals should expect a slight chance of rain today with showers and thunderstorms picking up post 11 a.m., amidst a breezy day with winds potentially gusting as high as 25 mph.

Despite the high humidity, nights will offer some respite with the mercury tipping to a mostly clear 63 degrees this evening. The wind's not taking a break though, coasting through at a brisk 14 to 16 mph. While tomorrow shows promise of a sunny outlook with highs around 77 degrees and gentler northeast gusts topping out at 22 mph.

Residents looking for some outdoor egg hunting can rejoice in a picture-perfect Easter weekend. Sunshine is expected to reign supreme with absolutely no rain in sight from Saturday through Sunday. "Sunshine and zero rain chances will continue through Easter Sunday with weekend lows in the mid-60s and highs from 79° Saturday to 81° on Sunday," detailed a report from NBC Miami.

But don't pack away the shorts just yet, as the days following the weekend are set to cook up some serious heat, with Wednesday predicted to be breezy, partly sunny, and reaching a high near 86 degrees. Plus, next week's forecast hints at a "huge warm-up," with a rare April cold front on the heels of the heatwave, a sharp juxtaposition to the cool breeze fans have been relishing.
