Another heat advisory dogs South Florida with scattered rains expected in the late afternoon
A heat advisory will be in effect from 11 a.m. until 7 p.m. Sunday as "feels-like" temperatures could soar up to 107 for parts of Southeast Florida and the Keys.
Make sure to stay hydrated, take frequent breaks out of the heat, and wear light, loose-fitting clothing today. Similar heat will also kick off the workweek as heat index values remain in the triple digits.
In addition to the heat, rain chances will trend slightly higher today and throughout the upcoming week. Isolated showers will be possible along the Keys and the east coast on Sunday morning, but scattered showers and storms are expected to develop in the afternoon through early evening, especially for parts of Broward and Miami-Dade counties. Rain chances are around 40 percent for Sunday, so not everyone will receive rain, but you'll want to keep an umbrella nearby to be on the safe side.
If you don't use your umbrella today, there is a good chance you'll need it at some point through the workweek as daily rain chances will range from 40-50 percent, especially Wednesday through next weekend. Afternoon highs will linger in the lower 90s each day.

There is a chance for development, and a tropical depression could form by the end of the week or into the weekend. Regardless, tropical downpours could lead to flooding with an increased chance of rip currents at the beaches this week.
