Scattered showers, thunderstorms roll in across South Florida
Scattered showers and storms will move across parts of South Florida with the potential for some heavy downpours and localized flooding. The Weather Prediction Center has placed Broward, and most of Miami-Dade, under a marginal (level 1) risk of flash flooding.
The National Weather Service said Miami-Dade is under a flood advisory until 11:45 a.m. It said additional rainfall amounts of 1 - 3 inches are expected which could lead to minor flooding in low-lying and poor drainage areas.
Areas impacted include Miami, Hialeah, Coral Gables, South Miami, Kendall, Doral, Pinecrest, Miami Springs, Sweetwater, West Miami, Medley, Westchester, Olympia Heights, Fountainbleau, University Park, University Of Miami and Miami International Airport.
Highs will climb to around 90 degrees in the afternoon, however, when the humidity is factored in, it will feel like the upper 90s and low 100s in some areas.
The upper-level area of low pressure that has brought the moisture and rain over the last few days will keep the chance of rain higher on Wednesday. Some lingering moisture on Thursday will lead to some passing showers and storms. However, it will be a transitional day as Saharan dust begins to move in.
The Saharan dust and drier air will continue to move in on Friday and through the weekend, lowering the chance of rain. As the rain moves out, the sizzling heat returns. Highs will soar to the low 90s and it will feel like the triple-digits when you factor in the humidity on Saturday and Sunday.
The National Hurricane Center is giving the trough of low pressure near the southeastern U.S. coast a 10% chance of development as it moves west-southwestward the next few days. Regardless of development, this system will bring heavy rain to Florida and then the northern Gulf coast through this weekend.

After humid, rainy day, family celebrating in New Jersey park is rewarded with a rainbow
The hot weather and even some rain didn't stop many from enjoying their Sunday night around the Philadelphia area. Under puffy white clouds, casting a line, taking a walk or even hosting a barbecue seemed like the perfect way to spend Sunday afternoon in Cooper River Park in Pennsauken, New Jersey. "We're sending off my grandson to DelVal University," Inez Nock said. "We're so proud of him. We have family and friends that came out." Nock's party eventually had to move under cover after rain started to fall in the park. "The weather didn't want to agree with us, but we're still here," Nock said. As the rain kept on coming, so too did the waterworks of a different kind — tears from a very proud grandma. Finally, there came a break in the clouds and a rainbow spanning the sky. "That's a blessing from God," Nock said. "He is going to watch over him for four years on his new journey of life." After the rain cleared out, many also ventured to Kelly Drive in Philadelphia to get in a workout as the sun was setting. Megan Feick is already thinking ahead to the hot weather on tap for this week and planning how to beat the heat. "Stay cool, everybody, stay hydrated. And you p robably won't see me out here very much," she said. As for George Gordon, who was out for a bike ride, he's taking it all one day at a time, grateful for the present. "I think we always need to appreciate every day that we wake up, air in our in our lungs and strength in our bodies," Gordon said.
