A regular summer event is missing from Sunday's metro Miami weather forecast
Sunday's forecast drops one of those.
The National Weather Service predicts a high of 91 degrees with a heat index of 102 degrees Sunday and Monday. That's higher than usual because the usual daily 15 to 20 minutes of warm-but-cooling rain — just long enough to play the first six songs on Marvin Gaye's 'What's Going On' — isn't expected to return until at least Monday in Miami, Tuesday in Fort Lauderdale.
And, Miami's Monday maybe for rain is estimated at a slight 20% in the daytime, 10% at night. There's a 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms Tuesday in Miami and Fort Lauderdale.
So, if you're going to be outside, take some fluids with you. Check on senior citizens, especially those who might have malfunctioning fans or air conditioners in their homes.
Parents, grandparents, guardians and pet parents, especially if you're altering your routine, make a habit of looking in the back seat before you lock your car with the windows raised. Many child or pet deaths from hot cars happen when the child or pet is being taken along on a common errand where they're usually not present.
A disturbance in the Atlantic
Sunday morning, the National Hurricane Center says environmental conditions for a tropical wave about 1,000 miles east-southeast of the Lesser Antilles 'appear only marginally conducive for development during the next day or so while the system moves west-northwestward around 10 mph.'
Formation chance through two days: 10%.

Flood watch issued for Columbus, central Ohio. See where NWS says thunderstorms will strike
The National Weather Service in Wilmington issued a flood watch for most of central and southeast Ohio. The watch begins at 1 p.m. July 20 and remains in effect until Monday morning, July 21. The watch includes downtown Columbus, Pickerington, Chillicothe, Springfield, Dayton, Lancaster, Cincinnati and some parts of eastern Indiana. Strong thunderstorms were moving east through Indiana as of noon, July 20, and thunderstorms and showers were expected to begin in Franklin County sometime after 3 p.m., the NWS said. Some of those storms could see heavy rainfall. 'Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, stream, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations,' according to the forecast. 'Multiple rounds of thunderstorms will move across the watch area leading to the potential for flash flooding.' NWS meteorologist John Franks said people who live near creeks and streams are currently at greater risk of flooding as they are still swollen from rainfall in recent days. Smaller storms that hang over the region, dumping a lot of rain over a short period, creates a risk. 'The amount of moisture and structure of the storms is similar to what we've been looking at,' he said. 'It's going to depend on how it evolves and everything else. But the potential is there. The system is set up and ripe for tremendous rainfall rates if they get caught over a particular area. 'Creeks and streams are still high, so we're keeping an eye on that.' The forecast calls for showers to continue between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. July 21 with a slight chance of thunderstorms after 2 p.m. Central Ohio live weather radar Columbus forecast for week of July 21, 2025 The National Weather Service in Wilmington issued the following forecast in Columbus for the week of July 21, 2025.

Angry storms, 'heat dome' threaten to fuel dangerous weather week
Bouts of severe weather coupled with unrelenting heat threaten to provide Americans with a tumultuous and possibly deadly weather week, forecasters say. Multiple rounds of thunderstorms will bring risks of flash flooding through the Midwest and East on the periphery of a "heat dome" that could bring triple-digit temperatures to parts of multiple states, AccuWeather warned. More than 50 million Americans from Texas to Missouri were already under National Weather Service extreme heat warnings or advisories on July 20. Thunderstorms at night could bring hail downpours from southern Nebraska to Canada, with wind gusts possibly reaching 85 miles per hour. The severe weather threat sweeps across the Midwest and East on July 21, with Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia all facing the possibility of flash flooding and gusty winds. AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Alex Sosnowski said that much of the region was hammered by heavy thunderstorms recently and can't absorb another round. "We are highly concerned about the risk of dangerous to life-threatening flash flooding in the zone from southern Illinois and Indiana to central and eastern Kentucky, central and southern West Virginia and southwestern Virginia," Sosnowski said. Heat dome could last for weeks A bulge in the jet stream developing as high pressure builds could create a persistent heat dome lingering well into August, AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Chad Merrill said. The Kansas City, Missouri, area, which hasn't hit 100 degrees in two years, could reach the figure multiple times this week, he said. Dallas could see 100 degrees for the first time in 2025. "This has the look of a long-lasting heat wave with limited rainfall," Merrill said. "Drought will expand through the central Plains by mid-August and worsen in Kansas and Nebraska, where there are already pockets of moderate to extreme drought." Number missing in Texas floods drops from 97 to 3, officials say Number of people missing in deadly Texas flooding drops to 3 The number of people thought to be missing in the devastating floods in Kerr County, Texas, over the Fourth of July holiday weekend has been revised down from 97 to three, officials announced July 19. The city of Kerrville, Texas, said the Kerr County Flood Disaster Joint Information Center confirmed that "through extensive follow-up work among state and local agencies, many individuals who were initially reported as missing have been verified as safe and removed from the list." On July 15, Gov. Greg Abbott said 97 people were still listed as missing in the greater Kerrville area, down from 160-plus about a week ago. As of July 17, Abbott said, the death toll stood at 135 statewide, with 116 from Kerr County perishing in the floods. Read more here. Contributing: Swapna Venugopal Ramaswamy
