Summer heat and humidity into the early afternoon with heat index values near 100 degrees across South Florida, still below heat advisory levels. As the sea breeze moves onshore, a few showers will form closer to the coast before storms develop further inland into the mid-afternoon. There is a level 1, marginal risk for severe weather for central Florida and parts of South Florida so any stronger storm could produce damaging wind gusts, frequent lightning and heavy rain. Storms will move toward southwest Florida into the evening, though cloud cover will linger along the east coast, keeping temperatures down. Expect a partly cloudy sky overnight with lows in the upper 70s and lower 80s by Thursday morning with a coastal shower chance.

Our rainy season pattern will continue through the end of the week with pop up showers and storms each day. Saharan dust is forecast to arrive by the weekend which will help to limit storms each afternoon. It will be hazy, hot and humid with highs in the lower 90s into early next week.
