Overview
- South Florida is facing elevated afternoon and evening storm chances on Monday with slow‑moving cells that can produce heavy downpours and localized flash flooding.
- A shift to west‑to‑northwest steering winds is slowing the inland sea breeze and creating a collision zone that funnels storms toward the Palm Beaches and Treasure Coast.
- Daytime highs will climb into the low‑to‑mid 90s and combined with high humidity will make it feel about 100–110°F before storms provide brief relief.
- Forecasts show rain chances remaining high through Wednesday and then decreasing as drier air and Saharan dust move in starting Wednesday, reducing storm coverage into the weekend.
- Meteorologists say a strong El Niño, together with Saharan dust and increased wind shear, should keep the Atlantic quiet for the next seven days and lower short‑term tropical development odds.
