Aug. 27: Decent weather conditions expected for viewing partial lunar eclipse

Random shower aside, the weather will be mostly tranquil across South Florida Thursday night. Miami-Dade and Broward can expect partly cloudy skies as a partial lunar eclipse begins to unfold after 9 p.m. The eclipse will peak at 12:12 a.m. Friday, when 96% of the moon passes into Earth’s shadow. The moon could take on a reddish hue.

Saharan dust continues to overwhelm South Florida, suppressing rainfall and promoting hot temperatures. Temperatures are set to sizzle yet again Sunday. Highs will reach the lower 90s, with feels-like temperatures up to 105 degrees. A very small chance of a few showers cannot be ruled out for our western communities, with the rest of the region remaining dry.

August is picking up where July left off with another Heat Advisory in effect from 11 a.m. through 6 p.m. Saturday. It’ll feel like it’s between 105 and 110 degrees before cooling thunderstorms arrive later this afternoon, so stay hydrated and spend as much time in the air conditioning as possible.
