North Perry Airport, roads closed overnight due to storm damage
Thunderstorms spread throughout South Florida from Friday afternoon into the evening, forcing closures of North Perry Airport and at least one Broward County road until Saturday morning. All of South Florida was at marginal risk for isolated to severe storms on Friday, though National Weather Service Miami forecasters said some impacts could continue into the early morning hours. Strong winds uprooted trees and knocked down power lines on Friday evening. The most severe damage reported was from more than 50 mph winds lifting a Cessna off the ground and onto a fuel truck at North Perry Airport in Pembroke Pines. The area around North Perry Airport saw a severe storm about 6 p.m., and 'several aircraft were severely damaged,' airport spokesperson Arlene Satchell said in an email to the South Florida Sun Sentinel. The airport will be closed until at least 7 a.m. Saturday for the Broward County Aviation Department to continue assessing damage, she said. Satchell did not know how many airplanes were damaged. Reports that the damage in Pembroke Pines was from a tornado are false, NWS Miami meteorologist Sammy Hadi told the Sun Sentinel. The environment on Friday was supportive for large hail, which there were some reports of locally, and straight line winds. The damage was due to 'a thunderstorm collapsing violently,' he said. Sunshine Boulevard in Miramar will be closed in both directions, starting at the 2600 block, until at at least midnight due to downed power lines and damage from the storms, said Janice McIntosh, a spokesperson for Miramar Police. Several electrical lines and trees were knocked down in the area of Palm Avenue and Northwest 72nd Avenue in Pembroke Pines, the police department said in a post on X urging people to drive with caution.

Heat index could hit 107 in this Florida city. Will 'cold' front bring rain before Memorial Day?
As residents across the U.S. recover from deadly tornadoes, Florida is facing another problem: heat. The heat index — which is the temperature it feels like outside — is expected to reach triple digits May 21 across several areas of the Sunshine State, and high temperatures are forecast to remain in place over the Memorial Day weekend. ➤ Weather alerts via text: Sign up to get updates about current storms and weather events by location The National Weather Service Miami warned dangerous heat is expected from Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade counties Wednesday afternoon, with a heat index predicted to hit 107 in Miami. There may be a brief respite from high temperatures as showers associated with a weak cold front move through the state through Friday. Here's what you can expect. A weak "cold" front is moving into Florida. As it sinks south Wednesday, isolated showers are possible. Pensacola, western Panhandle: There's a 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms May 21, mainly before 1 p.m. Tallahassee, central Panhandle: Showers and thunderstorms are likely May 21, mainly between 3 and 5 p.m. Jacksonville, North Florida: Strong to potentially severe storms possible the afternoon and evening of May 21 as the cold front moves through the area. Gusty winds, heavy downpours, and isolated tornadoes possible. Daytona Beach to Stuart, east-central Florida: Strong to isolated severe storms will be possible during the afternoon and evening hours May 22 and May 23 as a weak front moves through the area. West Palm Beach to Naples, South Florida: A system is expected to stall over South Florida May 23 and into the weekend, helping to keep isolated to widely scattered showers and thunderstorms possible each day. Sarasota to Fort Myers, Southwest Florida: Showers are possible during the predawn hours May 22 before moving inland in the morning hours. High temperatures will continue to reach the upper 80s to lower 90s across North Florida through May 21. Central and South Florida can expect high temperatures to reach the lower to middle 90s, as well, according to the Florida Department of Emergency Management. Heat index values, or feels-like temperatures will remain in the upper 90s to lower 100s throughout the state through May 22, with portions of interior Northeast Florida and the Peninsula approaching or reaching the middle 100s bythe early to mid-afternoon hours. High temperatures will reach the lower to middle 90s May 23-24. Heat index values will reach the lower 90s across portions of North Florida through the end of the week following drier conditions. Similarly, heat index values throughout the Peninsula will reach the lower to middle 90s, with portions of West Central and South Florida still seeing values in the upper 90s to lower 100s. Drought conditions across Florida improved, mainly because of rain that moved through the state last week. However, severe and extreme drought conditions are expected to spread across portions of Central South Florida after a period of dry weather and warm temperatures, according to the Florida Department of Emergency Management.
