Drought conditions in South Florida likely to continue due to lack of rain

The NEXT Weather team is tracking a warm and dry kick-off for the long holiday weekend, but the final day of the workweek was a bit foggy.

In fact, dense fog advisories were issued for portions of inland Broward County and inland Miami-Dade County until 9 a.m.

The fog also led to some issues at Miami International Airport, with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reporting some delays of up to 15 minutes due to low ceilings.

Across South Florida, temperatures will reach into the low 80s later on Friday.
