South Florida experts warn of triple-digit "feels-like" temperatures
The NEXT Weather Team is tracking several days of heat, humidity and triple-digit, "feels-like" temperatures across southeastern Florida.
A high-pressure "heat dome" is sitting over the northern Gulf and spinning dry, hot air towards Florida. The hot air combined with high humidity is driving the heat indexes into the triple digits. While it feels hot outside, it has not reached the criteria for a heat advisory.
There is a "major" heat-related health risk on Sunday for inland areas of Broward and Miami-Dade counties, including areas near Doral, Hialeah and Pembroke Pines. This area expands over the week. It's important to stay hydrated, wear light-colored clothing and limit outdoor afternoon activities.
The 7-day NEXT Weather Forecast shows similar conditions all week with little chance of rain.
