Expect hot days and rain across South Florida this weekend

You can expect hot weather and afternoon downpours in South Florida through the weekend and into next week, the National Weather Service says.

High temperatures will consistently reach the low to mid-90s each afternoon, with ‘feels-like’ temperatures between 100 and 105 degrees.

Ana Torres-Vazquez, lead meteorologist with the National Service Weather in Miami, said there will be “warm and unsettled weather through the weekend,” with the continuation of the afternoon showers and the potential for gusty wind and frequent lightning. If you hear thunder, stay safe by heading indoors, Torres-Vazquez said.

Of the warm temps and the afternoon rain, “it’s generally the classic South Florida summertime pattern,” she said.
