Heat advisory extends to Palm Beach County — and safety alert called for Colombia-Argentina fans at Copa America final

South Florida’s heat advisory has expanded north to Palm Beach County, with “toasty” temperatures expected through Sunday evening, and it’ll remain hot through Thursday, the National Weather Service said.

The weather service even urged safety for Colombia-Argentina fans attending Sunday’s Copa America final at 8 p.m. at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens. “Stay weather aware, better to be safe than offsides (sic),” the NWS posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, adding a soccer ball emoji.

“Feels-like temps are already in the 100s as of 10am,” the weather service posted on X, formerly Twitter, Sunday morning.

The heat advisory for the tri-county area, which also includes mainland Monroe County, lasts through 6 p.m. Sunday and warns that “feels-like” temperatures could peak as high as 110 degrees. The Sunday high was about 91 degrees.

The risk of rain in Broward and Palm Beach is about 30% through Sunday evening, with heat indices at 108 degrees in Fort Lauderdale, 109 in West Palm Beach, and 110 near Palm Beach Gardens. The weather service said overnight temperatures in both counties will cool to the lower 80s, offering slight relief from the heat.

Yet the scorching heat of the past two months will once again rebound throughout this week and stay that way. Similar “feels-like” heat above 100 will continue Monday, and showers and thunderstorms are likely in the afternoon with a 60% chance of rain in Broward. In Palm Beach, the chance of rain is 40%.

The heat index in Broward and Palm Beach should remain in the triple digits at least through Thursday afternoon, the weather service said. Under those conditions, those outside should wear light or loose-fitting clothes, a hat, sunscreen, use an umbrella for shade and stay hydrated.
