Extreme heat continues in South Florida on Friday as severe thunderstorm, flash flood risk rises
Another heat advisory was issued Friday from noon until 7 p.m. in Broward and Miami-Dade counties due to the feels-like temperatures that could reach up to 110 degrees when you factor in the humidity.
This Juneteenth will be a scorcher as high temperatures soar into the low to mid-90s once again.
Wet weather will return later to bring some relief from the extreme heat and hopefully will help with the containment of the wildfires.
We need the rain, but not the lightning. And we may see some lightning with storms firing up with the heating of the day.
