Sea breezes\u2014winds that move inland from the coast during the afternoon\u2014will shape local conditions but won\u2019t be strong enough to produce much rainfall.<\/p>\n<p>Temperatures will continue to climb. Highs today and Friday will reach the upper 80s to low 90s along the coasts, while inland areas heat up into the low to mid-90s. The heat will feel even more intense in some spots, especially where humidity builds, increasing the risk for heat-related impacts. Overnight temperatures will also stay warm, offering little relief, particularly near the coast where lows may stay near or above 80 degrees.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Heat continues to build across South Florida as rain chances hold off until next week.
