Advisory issued as dangerous heat threatens Miami-Dade and Broward
With feels-like temperatures threatening to soar to 105 - 110 degrees, the National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory for Miami-Dade and Broward.
The advisory is in effect from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
The National Weather Service issues a heat advisory when the heat index, which combines temperatures and the humidity, is expected to reach 105 degrees or higher and last for at least two hours. A heat warning requires even more extreme conditions.
Sizzling South Florida temps
In Broward, Deerfield Beach, Margate, Miramar and Oakland Park could see feels-like temperatures of 103 degrees. Cooper City, Lauderhill, Pembroke Pines, Plantation, Southwest Ranches and Sunrise could see feels-like temperatures of 102 degrees.
In Miami-Dade, Doral, Hialeah, Homestead and Miami could see feels-like temperatures up to 104 degrees while Kendall and Redland could see 103 degrees.
South Florida residents are encouraged to take the necessary precautions to avoid heat exhaustion and heat illness.
Stay hydrated, drink plenty of water, stay in the shade or AC during the afternoon hours or take frequent breaks if you need to be outside.
As the winds shift out of the south, plenty of moisture will be pumped in and enhance the potential for wet weather.
On Monday and Tuesday, the chance of rain is 40%.
On Monday, the rain will arrive around noon and it could last through the evening hours. There is a low risk of rip currents along the Atlantic beaches and the UV index is extreme. There are no alerts or advisories for boaters along the Atlantic or Keys waters.
The chance of rain is trending even higher for the middle to the end of the week. By late week and into the weekend, highs will be in the upper 80s as the wet weather will bring our temperatures down slightly.
