A Heat Advisory takes effect at 11 a.m. Thursday across Broward and Miami-Dade counties as dangerously hot conditions settle over the region. Forecasters anticipate peak temperatures in the mid-90s, with potential record-breaking highs throughout the area.

Miami is expected to reach 96 degrees, which would surpass the current record of 95 degrees established in 2015. Fort Lauderdale similarly faces a forecasted high of 96 degrees, matching the city’s record temperature set in 1915.

The arrival of Saharan dust across the region will suppress rain chances and contribute to the elevated temperatures through Thursday. However, meteorologists predict that rain opportunities will increase substantially as the weekend approaches, bringing potential relief from the heat.
