South Florida\u2019s turbulent weather since the weekend that killed a mother and her daughter, spawned an Everglades wildfire, and mixed heat with storms looks to remain unsettled \u2014 including for Friday\u2019s Miami Dolphins home game.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe do need the rain, especially with the wildfires that we have been tracking here in South Florida,\u201d said CBS News Miami meteorologist Lissette Gonzalez during her Tuesday morning broadcast.<\/p>\n
Several of these fires around Homestead\u2019s Everglades National Park<\/a> have been completely contained, including the Lemur, Vulture, Movie Dome and 22 fires. The Chipmunk Fire, which has burned through 17,000 acres not far from Shark Valley, was 60% contained as of Tuesday morning, Gonzalez said. That one was caused by a lightning strike last Friday.<\/p>\n The smoke is expected to track toward the interior and north and west areas of Florida through Tuesday, Gonzalez said.<\/p>\n Though the smokey skies have improved over Monday, \u201cif you have any respiratory issues you might want to stay inside,\u201d Gonzalez cautioned on Tuesday.<\/p>\n As the smoke clears, expect temperatures to soar into the 90s, with feels-like temperatures around 103 between 1 and 3 p.m. \u2014 under the 105 threshold that would trigger a heat advisory in Miami-Dade.<\/p>\n The Tuesday morning rains and sporadic storms that spread from Miami International Airport, Miami Springs and Kendall into Broward resume in the afternoon, around 20%, so figure on some rainy day dismissals from schools, she said.<\/p>\n These sporadic downpours will continue.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s looking like a wetter Wednesday<\/a>,\u201d Gonzalez said as another line of showers and storms pick up over the next couple of days, leading to a 50% chance Wednesday and Thursday in South Florida, according to the National Weather Service in Miami.<\/p>\n That mix of showers and storms continue for the rest of the week, ramping up over the weekend, with wet weather chances swelling to 60% Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Temperatures are expected to hover around 90 despite the clouds.<\/p>\n The Miami Dolphins\u2019 final preseason game against the Atlanta Falcons is a home game at 7 p.m. Friday at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens. Look for a 20% chance of rain and a temperature of 81 at kickoff time, according to the weather service\u2019s hourly forecast.<\/p>\n Be mindful of accompanying lightning.<\/p>\n On Sunday, a lightning strike in Margate<\/a> killed a mother and her 2-year-old daughter as she ushered her twins off the sidewalk into a relative\u2019s house.<\/p>\n The National Hurricane Center is also tracking two disturbances in the Atlantic with one \u2014 Dolly \u2014 likely to develop into a tropical depression or storm in the next two to seven days. That wave, given a 70% development chance, is of interest for the Caribbean and Atlantic Coast at this time.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Chances are rising for the next named storm in the Atlantic to form<\/a><\/p>\n Howard Cohen<\/a><\/p>\n Miami Herald<\/p>\n Miami Herald consumer trends reporter Howard Cohen, a 2017 Media Excellence Awards winner, has covered pop music, theater, health and fitness, obituaries, municipal government, breaking news and general assignment.
