South Florida is under a heat advisory again Friday, with “feels-like” temperatures reaching between 105 and 110 degrees before mid-afternoon showers are expected to cool things down slightly.
Broward, Miami-Dade, mainland Monroe and Collier counties are under the advisory until 5 p.m., according to the National Weather Service Miami.
Miami set a daily high temperature record on Thursday, the weather service announced on X, formerly known as Twitter, reaching 96 degrees and breaking the old record of 95 degrees set in 1998.
The heat and lingering moisture from the storm Idalia will continue Friday, with a significant excessive heat risk and higher rainfall chances. A weak front is expected to move through the area this weekend, lowering temperatures and rain chances slightly.
South Floridians can rest assured that there will be no more tropical threats to the area, at least next week.
A trough is currently picking up all of the systems in the Atlantic, including Idalia, Tropical Storm Jose, and the remnants of Tropical Storm Gert, and shifting them north way from South Florida, said Sammy Hadi, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service, which means “the activity will all stay away from our area.”
