A regular summer event is missing from Sunday's metro Miami weather forecast
Sunday's forecast drops one of those.
The National Weather Service predicts a high of 91 degrees with a heat index of 102 degrees Sunday and Monday. That's higher than usual because the usual daily 15 to 20 minutes of warm-but-cooling rain — just long enough to play the first six songs on Marvin Gaye's 'What's Going On' — isn't expected to return until at least Monday in Miami, Tuesday in Fort Lauderdale.
And, Miami's Monday maybe for rain is estimated at a slight 20% in the daytime, 10% at night. There's a 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms Tuesday in Miami and Fort Lauderdale.
So, if you're going to be outside, take some fluids with you. Check on senior citizens, especially those who might have malfunctioning fans or air conditioners in their homes.
Parents, grandparents, guardians and pet parents, especially if you're altering your routine, make a habit of looking in the back seat before you lock your car with the windows raised. Many child or pet deaths from hot cars happen when the child or pet is being taken along on a common errand where they're usually not present.
A disturbance in the Atlantic
Sunday morning, the National Hurricane Center says environmental conditions for a tropical wave about 1,000 miles east-southeast of the Lesser Antilles 'appear only marginally conducive for development during the next day or so while the system moves west-northwestward around 10 mph.'
Formation chance through two days: 10%.

Heat advisories and warnings issued for Southeast and Midwest as temperatures and humidity soars
Extreme Weather Heat Tennessee It's always hot in the summer in the U.S. Southeast, but even by the standards of Florida and the Carolinas, the steamy heat wave on tap for the region Saturday into the coming week is a little extreme. The National Weather Service issued heat advisories for a large swath of the East Coast from central Florida to Virginia through much of the weekend. Highs in the upper 90s F (mid 30s C) were forecast for central Florida, with heat indexes reaching 105 degrees F to 110 degrees F (40.6 C to 43 C). The outlook was similar up through Georgia and the Carolinas into Virginia. Extreme heat warnings were out for much of eastern North Carolina, as far inland as Raleigh, and extending into a corner of South Carolina, including Myrtle Beach. Forecasters warned of dangerously hot conditions with temperatures approaching or exceeding 100 F (38 C) in some areas on Sunday and heat indexes up to 115 F through Sunday evening. 'Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors. the weather service advised. "Take extra precautions when outside. Wear lightweight and loose fitting clothing. Try to limit strenuous activities to early morning or evening. Take action when you see symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Stay cool, stay hydrated, stay informed.' The weather service said several major metropolitan areas in the Southeast — including Raleigh and Charlotte in North Carolina, Greenville-Spartanburg in South Carolina, and Atlanta in Georgia — were expected to face an extreme heat risk for several days, with minimal overnight relief. It said over 30 million people would likely be affected at the peak of the heat wave through midweek. A hot, humid weekend was also in store for the Midwest. Extreme heat watches were out for eastern Nebraska, western Iowa and southern Minnesota. Heat indexes were expected to reach 96 F (36 C) on Saturday and go even higher on Sunday in Minnesota. And an extreme heat warning was out for the St. Louis, Missouri, area through Tuesday evening, with highs around 99 F (37 C) and heat indexes around 110 F forecast for Monday and Tuesday. Parts of Iowa were hit by storms Saturday morning that dumped between 2 and 5 inches (5 to 13 centimeters) of rain in some areas and triggered flash flood warnings.

Saharan dust plume to linger over South Florida this weekend, forecasters say
A plume of Saharan dust is blanketing South Florida this weekend, resulting in hazy skies, diminished air quality and lower-than-normal chances for rain, according to the National Weather Service in Miami. The dusty air, originating from the Saharan Desert in Africa, is a regular seasonal occurrence that travels thousands of miles across the tropical Atlantic, impacting areas across the Caribbean and the southeastern U.S. The dust tends to remain suspended in the atmosphere between 4,000 and 15,000 feet, often preventing the development of thunderstorms and tropical systems due to the drier air it brings along, explained Sammy Hadi, a meteorologist with NWS Miami. READ MORE: Saharan dust is helping limit Atlantic hurricane formation. It won't last much longer Air quality has also been impacted, though not to alarming levels. The primary concern is the increased particulate matter within the air, which can aggravate respiratory issues in sensitive individuals, according to Hadi. 'People who are specifically sensitive to the dust can have worsened allergies, and it can be harder for them to breathe,' Hadi said. This particular plume is expected to remain over the region through the rest of the weekend, with a slight decrease in concentration starting Monday. Hadi said this plume is coming 'right in the middle of when it's normal' for Saharan dust to impact South Florida. The season for Saharan dust typically runs from late June through mid-August. For those who may be sensitive to the dust, it is recommended that you take precautions by limiting outdoor activities and keeping allergy medication on hand.
