MIAMI, Florida – The National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center has issued a marginal risk (Level 1/5) severe weather outlook for South Florida due to the potential for severe thunderstorms expected to impact the region this afternoon and evening on Wednesday, June 24, 2026.
The National Weather Service in Miami forecasts scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms in South Florida this afternoon through early evening, with a marginal risk of severe storms primarily across the east coast of South Florida, including Miami-Dade and Broward counties (Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Boca Raton areas). Storms could develop as early as 1–2pm but are most likely between 3pm and 9pm.
Main hazards include frequent lightning, gusty to damaging winds, and locally heavy downpours that may bring poor drainage flooding. The strongest storms could produce wind gusts of 50-60 mph. An isolated tornado or hail cannot be ruled out, though these are less likely than the primary threats of wind and lightning.
