Warm and humid conditions will continue overnight across South Florida with low temperatures only dropping to the low 80s. By Monday morning, scattered showers and a few thunderstorms could develop earlier than usual across Miami-Dade and Broward, with additional storms forming into the afternoon. Some storms may be strong and produce frequent lightning and heavy downpours.

The heat and humidity will remain a concern through Monday and into Tuesday. Heat index values or “feels like” temperatures are expected to reach 103° to 108° degrees each afternoon. While the typical summertime pattern of scattered afternoon storms continues into Tuesday, a thick plume of Saharan dust is forecast to move in by late Tuesday into early Wednesday. This will bring rain chances down toward the middle and end of the work week, with hazy or “milky” skies likely across South Florida.
