MIAMI – Scattered showers moved across parts of South Florida on Tuesday morning with some heavy downpours in spots. Passing showers will be possible through midday due to the strong onshore breeze.
Later in the day, storms will develop inland and move toward the West coast. Highs will climb to the low 90s in the afternoon but it will feel like the 100s when you factor in the high humidity.
Drier, Saharan dust moves in Wednesday and Thursday and that will keep the rain chance low.
With less rain, expect even more heat and higher humidity. Highs will soar to around 92 degrees and it will feel like the triple-digits in the afternoon hours.
As the Saharan dust thins out on Friday, the rain chance will begin to creep up. As moisture increases this weekend, we will return to a typical summertime pattern with the potential for afternoon storms. Highs will be in the low 90s Saturday and Sunday.
