Deep moisture leads to widespread showers across South Florida
An upper level low with deep moisture is moving through causing widespread showers and lighting in the morning hours.
The bulk of the afternoon and evening showers will continue along the Gulf coast
On Thursday the surface flow will begin to weaken which will slow down the sea-breeze storms and impact the eastern metro before activity pushes inland later in the afternoon and evening.
A NEXT Weather Alert has been issued for Thursday and Friday.
NEXT Weather Chief Meteorologist Ivan Cabrera said with the deeper atmospheric moisture, a localized heavy rain threat may materialize across urban areas if persistent heavy rainfall occurs.
The Storm Prediction Center has placed all of South Florida under a "marginal" (Level 1) risk for strong storms and damaging winds on Thursday and Friday.
On Thursday, the most active period for the rain will be from noon to 5 p.m. On Friday, the most active period will be from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
The upper low pulls away Friday and into the weekend which will lower the chance or rain.
High temperatures will remain in the upper 80s with feels-like temperatures in the mid to upper 90s

Air quality alert in New York City area due to smoke from Canada wildfires
An air quality alert was issued by the New York State Department of Health on Saturday due to smoke from wildfires in Canada. The air quality health advisory covers New York City and the surrounding metropolitan area, including Long Island, as well as the Lower Hudson Valley, Upper Hudson Valley and the Adirondacks. The advisory went into effect at noon and expires at midnight. Today is another hot day in the Tri-State Area and more storms could hit the region Sunday. New York says the air quality forecast is "unhealthy for sensitive groups" Saturday. According to the National Weather Service, the air quality index (AQI) is predicted to be greater than 100, and could even reach up to 135 in NYC, which indicates a greater health concern due to fine particles in the air. Put plainly, the AQI helps measure the severity of air pollution and categorizes the health risks. The higher the number, the greater the risk. "People who may be especially sensitive to the effects of elevated levels of pollutants include the very young, and those with preexisting respiratory problems such as asthma or heart disease. Those with symptoms should consider consulting their personal physician," the NWS alert says. New York health officials recommend limiting strenuous outdoor activities to reduce the risk of adverse health effects when there are elevated levels of pollution, according to the NWS.
