By Monday morning, scattered showers and a few thunderstorms could develop earlier than usual across Miami-Dade and Broward, with additional storms forming into the afternoon. Some storms may be strong and produce frequent lightning and heavy downpours.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">The heat and humidity will remain a concern through Monday and into Tuesday. Heat index values or \u201cfeels like\u201d temperatures are expected to reach 103\u00b0 to 108\u00b0 degrees each afternoon. While the typical summertime pattern of scattered afternoon storms continues into Tuesday, a thick plume of Saharan dust is forecast to move in by late Tuesday into early Wednesday. This will bring rain chances down toward the middle and end of the work week, with hazy or \u201cmilky\u201d skies likely across South Florida.<\/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.
