It's a hazy and steamy start with "feels-like" temperatures already in the mid- to upper 90s across the region.

In addition to the heat, Saharan dust has moved into South Florida and will continue to do so for the next couple of days.

A heat advisory begins at 11 a.m. for metro Broward and Miami-Dade counties and will last until 6 p.m. as "feels-like" temperatures around 108 degrees will be possible.

No relief from the heat is in sight as triple-digit heat index values linger through the rest of the week and intensify for the beginning of next week.

Due to the drier air associated with the Saharan dust, rain chances will be extremely isolated for Wednesday and Thursday at only a 10-20% chance. 

However, a brief disturbance is expected to swing through South Florida on Friday, bringing our next best chance for scattered showers and storms (30-40% chance).
