April 17: Very warm weekend, maybe some April showers

This April weekend starts on a nice note for South Florida.

Miami-Dade and Broward counties can expect partly cloudy skies Friday night. Temperatures will be quite mild with lows forecast in the low 70s.

Saturday will feature sunshine and scattered clouds-- can’t rule out a stray shower. As east-southeast winds stir, temperatures will make a run for the mid and upper 80s.

Sunday will offer light winds and partly cloudy skies along with a slightly better chance for showers compared to Saturday, especially during the afternoon.

Should Miami achieve its forecast high temperature of 89°, it would be the warmest so far this year.
