Rain Returns to South Florida: Showers and Thunderstorms Expected
US · Published May 12, 2026
After an extended period of dry weather and ongoing fires in Pembroke Pines, South Florida is set to experience a significant change in weather conditions.
According to CBS News, showers and thunderstorms are expected to increase across Miami-Dade and Broward counties starting this evening and continuing into tomorrow.
The storm chances are estimated at 60%, signaling the onset of the rainy season.

Why It's Important?

The return of rain is expected to provide relief from the dry conditions that have contributed to fires in areas like Pembroke Pines. However, the heavier downpours associated with the thunderstorms could lead to localized flooding in low-lying areas. Residents should remain cautious of slick roads and reduced visibility during periods of heavy rain. The increased moisture may also temporarily alleviate fire risks in the region.
