Mind the heat, later rain chances for July 4th plans across South Florida

The NEXT Weather Team is tracking a hot, humid, and stormy Fourth of July across South Florida. 

Feels-like temperatures will hit 112 degrees in parts of Miami-Dade County. All across the region, we will be dealing with triple-digit heat indexes due to high real temperatures and tropical moisture in the air. This is creating a moderate to major heat-related health risk all weekend. 

It's important to stay hydrated, retreat inside to air conditioning throughout the day, and check on your elderly relatives and neighbors. 

Rain and pop-up thunderstorms are expected across southeastern Florida in the early afternoon hours. It will not be a wash-out, but storms will be moving across the region. 

The good news is the storms and rain are expected to clear out before fireworks and drone displays later tonight.
