March 2: Can’t rule out a shower on the breeze

The first Monday night of March 2026 offers, relatively, benign weather conditions for South Florida. East-northeast winds could carry an isolated shower or two from the Atlantic waters across Miami-Dade or Broward counties or the Keys. Otherwise, expect partly cloudy skies with overnight low temperatures around 70°F.

On another note, a total lunar eclipse will unfold early Tuesday morning from 4:50 a.m. to 6:44 a.m. The moon will take on a reddish hue as it slips into Earth’s shadow. Totality occurs at 6:33am. The moon will be low on the horizon. Look west and you may be able to see the spectacle!

Regarding weather conditions Tuesday: expect east-northeast winds sustained 5 to 15 mph, gusts to 20. The breeze could carry a few isolated showers toward South Florida’s east coast. Clouds will mix with sunshine as temperatures make a run for the low 80s.
