April 29: Stray shower possible, but most will stay dry

We could get a stray light shower today, but just about all of us will be dry. High temperatures will reach the upper 80s like we did yesterday. Starting tomorrow, a wind shift will bring in hotter air. Highs will reach the low 90s starting Thursday afternoon and will near record highs around 92° this weekend. Don’t expect any relief from rain anytime in the next few days. The next chance of meaningful rain arrives Sunday afternoon into Monday. Some thunderstorms in that time frame could produce gusty winds and heavy rain.

A wildfire burning just south of Tamiami Trail in Miami-Dade County is sending a plume of smoke west into the Everglades, but a shift in the winds will bring this smoke into the metro areas of Broward and Miami-Dade starting late Wednesday night. Expect to smell this smoke at times with reduced air quality.
