On Sunday, the East Coast Metro should stay mostly dry through the first part of the day before scattered thunderstorms develop by early afternoon. Rain chances Sunday are at 50 to 60 percent, mainly in the afternoon hours with most storms forecast to dissipate by the evening. A few stronger storms could still produce frequent lightning and heavy downpours.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">The heat will once again be a concern on Sunday. Heat index values, or \u201cfeels like\u201d temperatures are expected to climb into the 105\u00b0 to 108\u00b0 range across Miami-Dade, Broward, and the Keys, and another Heat Advisory may be issued. If you\u2019re spending time outdoors, stay hydrated, take frequent breaks in the shade or air conditioning, and be prepared to move indoors if thunderstorms develop later in the day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph b-article-body__copyright\">Copyright 2026 by WPLG Local10.com &#8211; All rights reserved.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" alt=\"Brantly Scott\" class=\"c-image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/https:\/\/author-service-images-prod-us-east-1.publishing.aws.arc.pub\/wplginc\/fa285d94-a952-4311-929c-.jpeg\"  width=\"100\" height=\"100\"\/>Brantly Scott<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph b-author-bio__author-description\">A native of the Sunshine State, Meteorologist Brantly Scott is originally from Pensacola in the Florida Panhandle.
