The final weekend of July 2026 will bring oppressive heat and humidity to South Florida, with thunderstorm activity likely at multiple points throughout the period. Isolated showers cannot be ruled out for Miami-Dade, Broward and the Florida Keys on Friday evening, while Saturday morning could see scattered convection moving along coastal areas.
Saturday afternoon will see widespread development of showers and thunderstorms across the region as daytime heating intensifies. Sunday begins on a drier note, but afternoon heating will again trigger storm formation later in the day, continuing the pattern of daily convective activity.
Temperatures are expected to climb into the low to mid 90s on both days, but the combination of extreme heat and high moisture will make conditions feel significantly worse. The heat index is forecast to exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit throughout the weekend period.
