PEMBROKE PARK, Fla. – A heat advisory is in effect through Wednesday evening for South Florida.
The advisory is expected to last until 6 p.m.
The feel heat index possibility in Miami-Dade, Broward, Monroe and Palm Beach counties ranges between 105 to 110 degrees while the highs will reach the low to mid-90s.
South Floridians should expect some scattered storms over the weekend.
Despite some downpours, there’s not enough precipitation to keep our temperatures cooler, as seen Wednesday morning, according to Local 10 meteorologist Julie Durda.
While we are familiar with this, it’s important to prepare for the heat, which is expected to reach triple digits, especially in the Florida Keys, where it feels like the mid to upper 90s.
Temperatures will warm up every hour, with an expected high of 89 degrees in just two hours, and feels-like temperatures in the triple digits. Rain chances will drop later in the afternoon as storms push west, leading to warmer temperatures.
There are several downpours along University Drive, 595, Davie, Griffin Road, Oakland Park Boulevard, Fort Lauderdale and West Broward as of 11 a.m. Wednesday.
Durda said a storm is moving from the Palmetto Expressway towards Krome Avenue into US 27 out of Miami Gardens, with more precipitation expected near Key Biscayne and Boca Chica Key, heading towards Cutler Bay.
In the tropical update, lingering Saharan dust is limiting rain chances and tropical cyclone development.
The Saharan dust is spread across the Atlantic, the Caribbean, our area, and into the Gulf of Mexico.
If you have respiratory issues, please limit your time outside as the air quality is at moderate levels.
The National Weather Service in Miami advises the public to drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room if possible and stay out of the sun.
Those who work outdoors are advised to wear lightweight, loose-fitting clothing, take frequent rest breaks in shaded or air conditioned environments and limit strenuous activities.
Anyone overcome by heat should be moved to a cool and shaded location, and if someone appears to be suffering a heat stroke, call 911.
