CBS News Miami meteorologist Lissette Gonzalez said there was a 30 percent chance for spotty showers on Monday, the first of several days that will likely be wet. 

"In the next few days we should all have that umbrella handy," she said. "Get ready for a wet week ahead."

A stalled front to the north of South Florida will usher in tropical moisture and increase the chance for precipitation.

There is a 40 percent chance of rain on Tuesday which will increase to 70 percent on Wednesday.

The high temperature is expected to top out in the upper 80s in the Miami area.
