The change in weather pattern after an eight-day reprieve<\/a> from such heat alerts from the National Weather Service in Miami looks to make Wednesday the hottest day<\/a> since July 21, said CBS News Miami meteorologist Lissette Gonzalez.<\/p>\n \u201cThis will allow temperatures to soar to the low- to mid-90s, and it\u2019s going to feel like 106, potentially, possibly up to 110 degrees as we get into the afternoon,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n \u201cToo doggone hot to take your dog for a walk,\u201d she said in a segment of her weather broadcast.<\/p>\n Miami seems to be the hot spot Wednesday with a high of 94 in the afternoon, followed by Opa-locka, Pembroke Pines and Pompano Beach at 93, and Fort Lauderdale at 92. Homestead is looking at 91, Gonzalez said. The Florida Keys will toast in the upper-80s.<\/p>\n Only spotty showers and storms are expected, about 20% over the next couple days.<\/p>\n The heat risk is even greater Thursday, which means a greater health risk.<\/p>\n Miami has a 96 degree forecast, that would break a 95-degree record set on that date \u2014 July 30, 2015. Fort Lauderdale\u2019s forecast is 95, one-degree shy of a 2015 record of 96, and Key West eyes 90, four degrees cooler than the 1933 record of 94 for this date.<\/p>\n If the weather service issues a heat advisory for Thursday, it would likely be released in the early morning hours. Advisories are issued in Miami-Dade when the \u201cfeels-like\u201d temperature is forecast to sustain at 105 degrees for at least two hours.<\/p>\n Expect the peak of heat to broil between the hours of 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. on both days.<\/p>\n The chance for another 12-day heat advisory streak like we had in early July is unlikely. Friday\u2019s 105 feel-like around 1 p.m. doesn\u2019t look like it\u2019ll hold for the necessary two-hour stretch.<\/p>\n Regular air temperatures are forecast at 94 for Friday, 93 Saturday and 92 Sunday. The start of the next workweek brings the heat down a bit to 90.<\/p>\n Credit, perhaps, the rain chances, which are forecast to increase on the weekend to just above 50% Saturday and around 30% Sunday, before inching back up to 40% on Monday and Tuesday, according to the weather service.<\/p>\n Health tips<\/p>\n Miami\u2019s weather service considers Wednesday\u2019s alert (and the likely Thursday issuance of a heat advisory) a \u201cmajor heat risk\u201d health concern.<\/p>\n Quick tips from the NWS:<\/p>\n Drink plenty of water, even if you\u2019re not thirsty.Take frequent rest breaks in shade or air-conditioning.Watch for signs of heat illness, such as heavy sweating; nausea; headache; dizziness or weakness; cool, pale and clammy skin; altered mental state and loss of consciousness.
