April 30: Hottest day of the year arrives

Good Morning. It is a much warmer start with lows in the 70s and calm winds. The smoke and haze from the fire burning near U.S. 41 will slowly start to move to inland parts of Miami-Dade and Broward later this morning. The winds will start to transition in from the south south-west this morning, which may result in some air quality issues, so keep it tuned to Local 10. The wind direction will also provide for temperatures to heat up. We will feel the hottest day of the year later today as highs reach the 90s. So far this year, the warmest high we have had has been 88 degrees. The heat starts off the first few days of May .
