A cluster of storms is presently situated off the coast near New Orleans, bringing intense rain showers. In the Florida Peninsula, isolated showers are affecting Tampa’s vicinity with potential development towards Miami. Cloud cover is advancing over Atlanta and the Carolinas, indicating incoming precipitation. The remnants of a front are bringing scattered rain showers over Houston and pushing eastward.
This evening in Miami, anticipate cloudy skies with temperatures maintaining a consistent 82 to 81 degrees from 9 PM to early morning. Winds will be gentle from the south-southwest at 6 to 5 miles per hour, shifting to south at 5 miles per hour by 1 AM.
Tonight, Memphis will cool down to 71 degrees. Nashville is expected to see a low of 70 degrees, while Jackson will rest at 72 degrees. Further south, New Orleans will be notably warmer at 79 degrees, and Houston will not dip below 79 either.
