A few showers moved across parts of South Florida during the early morning hours. A shallow plume of Saharan dust will move into South Florida during the day which will lead to some hazy skies. The drier air will keep the chance of rain low but spotty storms will still be possible in the afternoon. While most of the rain will be focused over the inland areas, some storms may back build eastward towards the metro areas in the late afternoon and evening.

As high pressure builds in, the weather pattern will remain similar on Tuesday. It will be another sizzling day with highs soaring to the low 90s and “feels like” temperatures in the triple-digits when you factor in the humidity. Although we will have Saharan dust lingering over the area, there will be plenty of low-level moisture that could spark scattered storms mainly over the interior in the afternoon.
