An active weather pattern unfolds as a cold front pushes from the west, bringing thunderstorms and heavy rain across the southeast.

Temperatures will slightly drop as the front passes through, leading to a cooler, more stable environment later in the week.
The UV index in Miami is extremely high for both Wednesday and Thursday, reaching a level of 11. Direct sun exposure can lead to a burn time of about 11 minutes. With such intense sunlight, it’s crucial to wear broad-spectrum sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses. Stay in shaded areas when possible, especially during peak sun hours.
