Two wildfires are burning west of Miami right now, and before today is over, the same storm system threatening your afternoon could either help put them out or make them worse. That's the tension running through Tuesday's forecast.
Start with the heat, because it's significant. Highs will reach the upper eighties to low nineties, but once you factor in the humidity, the feels-like temperature pushes to around ninety-five degrees Fahrenheit.
The smoke situation is real and it's layered. Two fires are active right now.
By afternoon, the threat shifts from smoke to storms. A frontal boundary combined with Tuesday's moisture loading creates conditions for scattered showers and thunderstorms to develop across the interior and east coast metro.
The storms and the wildfires aren't separate stories. Tuesday's gusty winds ahead of storms could push flames in unpredictable directions before the rain arrives.
If beach or water activity was part of your Tuesday plan, the morning is your window. Wind and surf pick up ahead of afternoon storms, and rough conditions and rip current risk increase as the day progresses.
Wednesday doesn't offer much relief. Morning fog, afternoon storms with a fifty percent rain chance, and a high near ninety-two degrees.
