WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Hotter than normal pattern continues tomorrow.

A heat advisory for all of South Florida has been extended through Tuesday at 7 p.m.

Overnight temperatures will remain in the upper-70s to low-80s with feels-like temperatures remaining in the 90s, which will provide little relief from the heat.

Heat index values will reach 105-110% between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. Tuesday.

High temperatures remain in the low to mid-90s for the rest of the week with overnight lows in the upper 70s or near 80 degrees.

Storms are more likely throughout mid-week, but Saharan dust will swing in by Thursday. This plume of dust is thick, so hazy skies will be noticeable during the end of the week, but will not decrease the chance of rain as tropical moisture continues to stream in.

The National Hurricane Center is highlighting two areas in the eastern Atlantic Ocean, where two separate lows are forecast to develop later in the week. Over the next seven days, one tropical wave off the west coast of Africa has a 30% chance of formation and another wave a few hundred miles southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands has a 20% chance.

But both areas will be fighting through very dry air that will cause any further development or organization to be slow.
