Spotty Storms Saturday

Saturday

South Florida may see a storm in spots on Saturday, but Saharan dust and drier air is on the way.   The day starts with sun and clouds, and some showers and storms will develop along the sea breezes.  While most of the activity should be well inland of the metro areas, any storms that do develop will move slowly — so heavy rain is possible.  Highs on Saturday will be near 90 degrees.

The dust will filter in late on Saturday, and Sunday will bring hot and hazy sun with a few clouds and just the chance of a stray storm.  Sunday’s highs will be in the low 90s.

The Saharan will linger on Monday, so look for another hazy and hot day with a low chance of showers and storms.  Monday’s highs will be in the low 90s.

Moisture returns on Tuesday, so we’ll see sun and clouds followed by afternoon showers and storms.  Tuesday’s highs will be in the low 90s.

The Fourth of July will feature sun and clouds during the first part of the day, with afternoon showers and storms forming along the sea breeze.  The evening should be fine for watching fireworks displays.  Highs on Wednesday will be in the low 90s.
