As Miami gears up for a balmy holiday weekend, locals can expect mostly sunny skies and steady breezes, ideal for any festive outdoor plans. The National Weather Service reports that today's temperature will hover around a pleasant 77 degrees with northeast winds at about 14 mph, reaching gusts up to 22 mph.

The evening will bring partly cloudy skies with lows dipping to around 66 degrees, and an easy east wind drifting at 8 to 10 mph. Those hoping to celebrate the holiday weekend on the beach should be mindful of the elevated Rip Current Risk and a Small Craft Advisory, signifying conditions that could challenge less experienced swimmers and boaters.

According to NBC Miami the afternoon will be characterized by "sunny skies and a nice breeze" with comfortable highs reaching 79 degrees. The following days are set to maintain similar conditions, with mostly sunny forecasts paving the way for an uninterrupted stretch of the holiday cheer.

Come Saturday and beyond, temperatures are expected to remain within the high 70s to low 80s bracket, an ideal range for those planning picnics, parades, or any variety of outdoor jubilance. Sunday night's forecast is a clear one, with lows around 69 degrees, and by Monday we will be riding on a warm up that peaks around 81 degrees, with the southeast wind kicking up to 14 mph, and gusts, possibly reaching as high as 21 mph.

Even as the week progresses, the weather seems to support uninterrupted revelry. By Tuesday, Miami will experience partly sunny skies with the mercury rising to an even warmer 83 degrees. While the week will largely stay dry, there's a slight chance for showers and thunderstorms around midweek, with a 20 percent chance predicted for both Wednesday night and Thursday according to the NWS forecast. But for now, it seems the sun is aligning with the festive spirit, setting the stage for an enjoyable holiday weekend.
