As Miami gears up for another sweltering day, locals can expect the thermometer to climb while the rain plays it coy, possibly gracing us with a mere shower or two. According to a forecast from NBC Miami, the heat won't be shy, boasting highs in the mid-80s along with conditions that'll make it feel nudging towards 90.

The humidity is also hanging high at a muggy 85%, as noted in a bulletin from the National Weather Service, so folks stepping outside might want to brace for that sticky embrace only South Florida knows how to give.

Beachgoers are in for a moderate rip current risk that won't be taking a vacation anytime soon; the same breeze that's helping cool off overheated Miamians is cranking out a moderate chop over Biscayne Bay, the breeze will also be providing a mild respite from the dense heat but don't bet on it to save the day, the relentless sun won't be taking many breaks, if any, over the weekend and into next week. The National Weather Service backs this up, predicting “a 20 percent chance of showers” after 2am Saturday, leading into a repeat forecast with “mostly clear” nights and sunny days hovering around 83 degrees.

As for those looking to navigate the waters, your sail or motor through Biscayne Bay should be smooth sailing, or at least as smooth as it can get with a forecasted "moderate chop." While the city's landlubbers and mariners alike take in the good news for their weekend plans, they should also note that Sunday might bring about a "slight chance of showers, with thunderstorms also possible after 2pm," a little heads up from the National Weather Service for anyone planning a Sunday afternoon jaunt.

The week ahead stays predictable—the forecasted conditions flaunting a nearly uninterrupted string of Sun-filled days and starry nights, a pattern so consistent it's poised to stretch into mid-week that’s the word from NBC Miami, echoing the sunny sentiments and clarity of the skies as we step into the next handful of days. The odd shower aside, it seems Miami's weather gods are clocking in for regular hours, dishing out high temps and mostly clear skies for foreseeable future.
