The Atlantic fire is burning near the Sawgrass Expressway and Commercial Boulevard, and around 180 acres have been burned. It is 0% contained, according to the Florida Forest Service. <\/p>\n
Fire officials say the flames are not threatening homes or businesses.<\/p>\n

Light winds, minimal rain in today’s forecast<\/p>\n
“The winds are light out of the east, blowing the smoke to the west today,” NBC6 meteorologist Adam Berg said. “Not a strong wind, which is again, helpful for folks fighting this brush fire. What we really need is some rainfall.”<\/p>\n
But that doesn’t seem likely on Monday. <\/p>\n
By the middle of the week, Berg forecasts a better chance for rain. <\/p>\n
Much drier today with only a few showers possible over SW areas. Dangerous temperatures again this afternoon with highs hitting mid-upper 90s in many locations of SoFlo, along with max heat index values possibly reaching the 105-110 degrees range at times. pic.twitter.com\/1Usykfkv1z<\/a><\/p>\n
