July 8: Saharan dust lingers over South Florida

Thursday brings more of the same: hot, humid and hazy conditions with Saharan dust still in the area. The rain chance will remain low as east-southeast winds, sustained 5 to 15 mph, rule the day. Temperatures will make a run for the low 90s-- factor in humidity and it could feel like 105°F, give or take a few degrees.
