SUMMARY: South Florida is facing intense heat and high humidity on Saturday, with “feels like” temperatures hitting the triple digits, especially in Broward County. Miami-Dade and Key Biscayne will be slightly cooler, but overall, the entire area will experience sweltering conditions. The sun will be strong with extreme UV levels, so sunscreen and hydration are essential. Skies are mostly clear, with only minor rain chances over the Everglades later. Atlantic conditions remain calm, and tropical activity is minimal, though a low pressure system near the Yucatan is expected to impact the U.S.-Mexico border early next week without major effects locally. The 4th of July looks perfect.
