Miami sets new high temperature record for second consecutive day
MIAMI -- For the second day in a row, Miami shattered a high temperature record, setting a new daily benchmark.
The mercury reached 95 degrees at Miami International Airport, surpassing the old record of 93 degrees that had been the previous record..
A Heat Advisory has been issued for Miami-Dade from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. due to feels-like temperatures that may reach up to 110 degrees when you factor in the high humidity.
CBS News Miami meteorologist Cindy Preszler said it is likely that more high temperature records could fall over the weekend in advance of much cooler air arriving Sunday night into Monday.
Some showers and storms will be possible this afternoon and evening.
Saturday we stay hot and humid with the potential for record heat. Highs climb to the low to mid 90s and it will feel like the triple-digits. Scattered showers and spotty storms will be possible.
Sunday highs will remain above normal and we may tie or break records with the low 90s. Spotty storms will be possible ahead of a cold front that will sweep in late Sunday.
By Monday morning we'll notice a difference with lows in the upper 60s and low 70s. Highs will only be in the low 80s with plenty of sunshine, lower humidity, and a pleasant breeze. The coolest air of the season arrives Tuesday morning as lows tumble to mostly low 60s. Highs will stay below average in the low 80s.
We'll enjoy mainly dry, fall-like weather through the middle of next week.
