South Florida expects warm temperatures, scattered afternoon thunderstorms, and dangerous beach conditions with a high rip current risk through Saturday morning. Heat index values are expected to climb into the 100 to 109 range, requiring hydration and limiting strenuous outdoor activity. Visitors heading to the beach are advised to swim near a staffed lifeguard if red flags are flying.

South Florida will experience warm and muggy nights followed by scattered afternoon thunderstorms on Sunday, with a 50-60% chance of rain. Heat index values are expected to reach 105° to 108° in Miami-Dade, Broward, and the Keys, potentially leading to another Heat Advisory.

Isolated afternoon and evening storms are expected in South Florida due to shifting high pressure and increasing moisture levels. Rain chances are 50% over the weekend, with temperatures reaching upper 80s to low 90s and humid nights in the mid-to-upper 70s.

High pressure will keep South Florida hot and humid with low rain chances for the next few days, though afternoon showers may develop along the east breeze. A wetter pattern is expected late this week and into the weekend as a Gulf low-pressure system brings deeper tropical moisture and widespread thunderstorms.
