A Heat Advisory is in effect for most of Miami-Dade and Broward counties from 11 AM through 7 PM as the “feels like” temperatures will approach 105-110 degrees during that time. Cooling thunderstorms are expected to fire up between 2 PM-7 PM, which will offer relief for some, but until those storms roll in, be sure to stay hydrated and stay in the air conditioning as much as possible. If you work outdoors, be sure to take frequent water breaks in the shade! Saharan dust is thinning out and this will allow better storm chances mainly during the afternoon hours today and over the weekend, but it’ll heat up into the mid-90s before those storms arrive. Little day to day change in our weather is expected through at least the middle of next week with highs soaring into the middle 90s each day. The National Hurricane Center gives an area of low pressure a 20% chance of development over the northeastern Gulf this weekend, but no impacts are expected here in South Florida for now.
