Will the Miami World Cup match and a holiday weekend face extreme heat? See risk

Whether you’re a dad or a soccer fan or someone who knows one or the other — or just simply existing in a steamy South Florida summer — we know where you may be this Miami weekend.

Outside. In the heat.

Friday is Juneteenth and a day off for many. Saturday is the official first day of summer and the longest day of the year. Sunday is Father’s Day — and also the second of seven World Cup matches in Miami Gardens. That match, between Cape Verde and Uruguay, begins at 6 p.m. at Hard Rock Stadium, but fans hit the streets hours earlier during the peak of the heat.

And that heat. The forecast temperature at match time: 88 degrees with a feels-like reading of 99, according to AccuWeather. Hours earlier if you’re tailgating between 2 and 4, that feels-like will be at 102 in Miami Gardens with an air temp of 89. Even around 9 p.m. when the game’s likely wrapped you’ll still file out of the stadium to a sticky 86 degrees and 95 feels-like.

“It’s going to be one of the hottest World Cup host cities, and there’s no air conditioning,” Jenna Lamb, U.S. director of Where Football Lives, a campaign drawing attention to the threats heat and extreme weather events pose to the sport, told the Miami Herald just ahead of the first match.

However you celebrate, or don’t, this busy Miami weekend will be scorching, following a trend of daily National Weather Service heat advisories that began on Monday, continued Thursday and may stretch through at least the start of next week.

On Thursday, the National Weather Service issued a heat advisory, the fourth straight this week, from noon to 7 p.m. In addition to the searing forecast high of 92, it could feel like 110 degrees in South Florida.

Father’s Day, Sunday match day

What should you expect Sunday for outdoor activities including Father’s Day barbecues, picnics, beach time, the Cape Verde-Uruguay match in Miami Gardens at the stadium and simultaneous Fan Festival at downtown Miami’s Bayfront Park?

The National Weather Service is forecasting a 50% chance of thunderstorms, mostly after 2 p.m., and a high of 89 and low around 82 Sunday evening. Weather Underground’s pinpoint of Miami Gardens forecasts a higher rain chance — 72% at 6 p.m.

Downtown Miami, where fans can immerse themselves in all things soccer at the festival just off Biscayne Boulevard, can expect the hottest temperatures — 91 degrees with a feels-like of 101 — from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. The best chance for thunderstorms in downtown Miami is at 3 p.m. at 70%. But if you linger at the park into and through the match and watch on the big screens, you’ll face a 52% storm chance at 6 p.m.

Juneteenth Friday and Saturday forecast

Leading into the weekend with Friday’s Juneteenth federal holiday that will give federal government employees, postal workers and many others the day off, expect summer weather. South Florida’s forecast calls for a 30% chance of rain or storms after 2 p.m. and a high of 90. The feels-like is forecast to hit 102, which would be just under the bar to trigger a heat advisory, according to the weather service.

Saturday, the first day of summer, brings the holiday weekend’s highest chance for storms at 60%, which could drop the predicted high of 90 to the low-80s.

“We do need that wet weather to at least bring out temperatures down just a bit,” said CBS News Miami meteorologist Lissette Gonzalez, in reference to the spotty showers forecast for Juneteenth and the weekend’s chances.

Maybe you want to beat the heat and storms and take a weekend drive down to the Florida Keys.

Expect sunny and clear skies from Juneteenth through at least Tuesday in the Keys, according to the weather service.

And while highs of 91 Friday, Saturday and Sunday are barely relief, the feels-like max will stay under the triple digits at 98.

For us, that’s cool.
