SUMMARY: South Florida faces rising rain chances from Friday through mid-next week, with a strong storm threat by Saturday afternoon. Broward and Miami-Dade counties are under a Level 1 severe weather risk, meaning conditions could produce damaging winds and strong storms, especially Saturday afternoon into early evening. Rain chances hover around 30% today, increasing to 50-60% over the weekend. Saharan dust moving in may reduce some moisture, slightly lowering rain chances. Temperatures remain summerlike, with highs in the low to mid-90s and feels-like temps near 100°F. Hurricane season starts Sunday, with ongoing daily rain chances and highs near 90°F.

CBS News Miami’s NEXT Weather Meteorologist Shane Hinton says to expect summer-like heat to continue across South Florida for Friday but prepare for potentially strong storms for Saturday.

Kennedy Jr.’s announcement that vaccines are no longer recommended for healthy children and pregnant women, though CDC guidance for pregnant women remains unchanged. Childhood vaccination rates remain low, with only 13% vaccinated for 2024-25. A CDC advisory panel will review fall vaccine recommendations in June, focusing on high-risk groups.
