Overview
- A Heat Advisory is in effect for Miami‑Dade and Broward on Monday with feels‑like temperatures reaching about 108°F and highs in the low to mid‑90s.
- Forecasters expect Tropical Depression Two in the northeastern Gulf to become Tropical Storm Bertha later Monday as wind shear eases and the unusually warm Gulf waters favor strengthening.
- Tropical Storm Watches cover parts of the Florida panhandle through the Alabama coast and the system is forecast to track west‑northwest with primary impacts focused on the northern Gulf Coast.
- South Florida will see only indirect effects from the system, such as a southerly breeze and a roughly 20% chance of stray showers, and is forecast to remain hot and relatively dry into midweek.
- Local authorities are also monitoring the Mile Marker 40 wildfire in the Glades after it doubled overnight, producing smoke that is reducing visibility on Highway 27 and prompting travel cautions.
