July 17: Hot weekend -- can’t rule out a few showers or storms

A random shower or storm is not completely out of the question for South Florida Friday night; otherwise, clouds linger over Miami-Dade and Broward counties.

Indeed, the weekend will be hot! Temperatures are forecast to reach the low and mid 90s -- humidity will make it feel like the triple digits.

Saturday will feature south-southeast winds, plus a sun/cloud mix and haze as there still will be a touch of Saharan dust in the area. Showers and storms will be possible and they may start to develop earlier in the day.

Sunday will offer sunshine, scattered clouds and southerly winds with the chance for a few passing showers and storms.
