Not just saturday but also sunday, although saturday is going to be the coolest of the two days. So heres the bottom line for our weekend forecast. High pressure is in control. Temperatures will be below average. And it will be beautiful. So miami starts tomorrow at 50. We end the day around 70 during the afternoon. And then sunday mid50s to start, highs in the mid70s.
