A sunny Sunday in South Florida has experts warning of triple digit "feels-like" temperatures
A high pressure "heat dome" is sitting over the northern Gulf and spinning dry, hot air towards Florida. The hot air combined with high humidity is driving the heat indexes into the triple digits. While it feels hot outside, it has not reached the criteria this weekend for a heat advisory.
There is a "major" heat-related health risk on Sunday for inland areas of Broward and Miami-Dade counties including areas near Doral, Hialeah and Pembroke Pines. This area expands over the course of the week. It is important to stay hydrated, wear light-colored clothes and limit outdoor afternoon activities.
The Seven Day NEXT Weather Forecast shows similar conditions all week with little chance of rain.

Hot seasonable week on tap for North Texas with temperatures expected in the 100s
Another hot yet seasonable July day is on tap. Expect partly cloudy skies with the high temperature reaching the mid-90s and winds from the south gusting up to 20 mph. There is still a moderate amount of moisture in the atmosphere, causing the feel-like temperatures to climb into the triple-digits. However, the dew points will be lower than Saturday, so heat index values won't reach the heat advisory criteria. Daytime heating will allow for a few pop-up showers during the late afternoon and evening. The potential for a 10 to 20% chance of rain will encompass cities to the south of I-20 and east of I-35. Most of North Texas will be dry. Monday, the heat dome begins to build across the Central United States. A ridge of high pressure will gradually dominate the weather pattern this next week. Compressional heating from the sinking, dry air will clear the skies and increase temperatures. It has been 338 days since DFW Airport recorded a triple-digit day. The streak looks to end this week. By next weekend, the ridge weakens, bringing temperatures down a few degrees and increasing the rain chances.
