July 25: Hot, humid weather continues with a better chance for afternoon storms

The summer sizzle continues, but we’re throwing some extra thunderstorms into the mix, especially later on Saturday afternoon. Stay cool, and stay aware of lightning and heavy downpours nearby, particularly between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m.

While most of the storms have missed much of South Florida over the past few weeks, we’re more likely to see them over the next several days as upper-level steering winds have shifted to the west, pushing storms toward our beaches.

A couple of inches of rain could accumulate quickly near some of the stronger storms, causing street flooding in poor-drainage neighborhoods.

We’ll see highs in the middle 90s, with the heat index approaching 105 degrees before those cooling storms arrive.

In the tropics, conditions remain quiet through the end of the month, but be prepared because we’re heading into a typically more active part of the hurricane season over the next few weeks.
