Summer Heat, Humidity, Rain Return

humidity

August in South Florida is all about heat and humidity, and Monday is no exception. Look for a few early showers along the east coast and in the Keys as the ocean breeze continues. While the showers will move quickly, some will bring briefly heavy rainfall. Highs will reach the sticky low 90s, but it will feel about 10 degrees hotter. Most of Monday’s afternoon storms will pop up in the interior and in the Naples area. A quick surge of moisture will move in overnight, and all of South Florida could see showers and storms associated with it.

Showers and storms will pop up throughout South Florida on Wednesday, and highs will be in the low 90s.

Thursday features early showers along the east coast and in the Keys, followed by afternoon storms from the western suburbs of Miami-Dade and Broward westward to the Gulf coast. Highs will be in the low 90s again.

Faith Based Events
