By Donna Thomas, SouthFloridaReporter.com, Meteorologist, July 17, 2015 – More summer storms are on tap for South Florida on Friday. After a mostly dry early morning, look for storms to pop up by late morning to early afternoon, bringing periods of heavy rain, dangerous lightning, and gusty winds that could last into the early evening. Highs on Friday will be in the low 90s.
Saturday will be a bit drier, as a thin layer of Sahara dust passes by. But afternoon storms will be around in spots, and highs will be in the low 90s.
Sunday will see highs in the low 90s and more widespread afternoon storms.
The first half of the workweek features a few morning showers, highs in the low 90s, and afternoon storms forming inland on the sea breeze.
In the tropics, we’re watching a wave that’s about 1000 miles west-southwest of the Cape Verde Islands. The National Hurricane Center gives it a low chance of developing over the next few days.
