The Heat Advisory area expanded after it was issued to include all metro areas in South Florida west of I-95 where the "feels like" temps, when you combine the heat the humidity, was in the triple digits.

Drink plenty of fluids, stay in air-conditioned rooms, and stay out of the sun to avoid heat illnesses like heat exhaustion and dehydration.

With dry air moving in overhead there will be no rainfall today or tomorrow afternoon. Only a light shower may move through the area overnight with the southeast breeze.

Highs both today and tomorrow will be 94 with a low just above 80 degrees.

Moisture returns over the weekend so shower and storms will be back in the forecast with high temperatures a few degrees cooler but still above 90. Lows will be right around 80 degrees.
