Strong storms and damaging winds possible in parts of Miami-Dade, Broward in the afternoon
The NEXT Weather Team had issued NEXT Weather Alert Day for Friday due to the potential for strong to severe afternoon storms.
NEXT Weather meteorologist Lissette Gonzalez says the most active period for stormy weather will be from noon through 8 p.m.
The main concern will be storms which could contain damaging wind, hail, and isolated heavy downpours.
The Storm Prediction Center has placed most of Miami-Dade and Broward at a marginal risk for isolated strong storms on Friday. The heating of the day will help fuel those storms. Friday afternoon highs will be around 90 degrees.
While the risk level is marginal, the lowest on the SPC's five-tier scale, residents are urged to stay weather-aware, especially during peak storm times.
Outdoor plans and commutes could be impacted by sudden downpours or localized severe conditions.
The heat continues through Memorial Day Weekend with afternoon highs near 90 degrees and "feels like" temperatures in the mid to upper 90s. The chance of rain is 30% for scattered showers.

Another heat advisory dogs South Florida with scattered rains expected in the late afternoon
The NEXT Weather Team is tracking another heat advisory for today along with the potential for scattered showers and storms developing later in the 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.
