After storms fade around sunset tonight, South Florida will turn warm and muggy overnight with only a slight chance of a passing coastal shower. On Sunday, the East Coast Metro should stay mostly dry through the first part of the day before scattered thunderstorms develop by early afternoon. Rain chances Sunday are at 50 to 60 percent, mainly in the afternoon hours with most storms forecast to dissipate by the evening. A few stronger storms could still produce frequent lightning and heavy downpours.

The heat will once again be a concern on Sunday. Heat index values, or “feels like” temperatures are expected to climb into the 105° to 108° range across Miami-Dade, Broward, and the Keys, and another Heat Advisory may be issued. If you’re spending time outdoors, stay hydrated, take frequent breaks in the shade or air conditioning, and be prepared to move indoors if thunderstorms develop later in the day.
