- Summer-Like Heat, Rain Risk Rising Late Week
South Florida is experiencing a hot and humid week with heat indices in the 100s. Tropical moisture moving into the Caribbean and Gulf is expected to increase rain chances by the end of the week and into the weekend, potentially cooling temperatures. Vivian Gonzalez, a meteorologist, reports on these conditions.
- Quiet Weather Now, But a Wetter Pattern Is On The Way
