Miami Faces Surge of Thunderstorms and High Humidity Amid Heat Advisory
Residents in Miami and surrounding areas brace for a shift in weather as a tropical wave from the southeast brings increased moisture and a wave of thunderstorms into the region. Following a sweltering weekend with feels-like readings that could surpass 111 degrees Fahrenheit, a heat advisory remains in effect until 6PM for Miami-Dade, Browretard and the Keys, WSVN reports. This changing atmosphere marks a move away from the hot, dry conditions exacerbated by Saharan dust to a week that will begin with thunderstorms and high humidity.

The National Weather Service in Melbourne informed us earlier today that visibility might hang at or above 6 statute miles despite the Saharan souvenir – so those aircraft operations at Orlando's airfields, such as KISM-KMCO-KSFB and KLEE, should anticipate minor disruptions. You can expect thunderstorm activity, though, with some carrying gusts up to a formidable 40-50 mph.
