The fire, which started on Monday afternoon, was 30% contained as the Florida Forest Service’s Everglades unit continued working. Miami-Dade Fire Rescue personnel also assisted.

A heat advisory has been issued again this morning and is in effect for coastal/metro Miami-Dade and Broward counties from 12 a.m. until 6 p.m. today. Max heat indices are expected around 103-107 degrees, but isolated areas could experience slightly higher values. High temperatures will be in the low-to-mid 90s. Afternoon storms are expected again with the development of the sea breeze. The storms will be steered towards the metro coastal areas again later this afternoon.

Get ready, the new workweek is starting off hot and humid. A heat advisory has been issued for metro-coastal Broward and Miami-Dade as heat indices will reach 103-107 degrees. The heat and humidity will help fuel the afternoon storms. With a southwest wind direction, this will help steer the storms towards the metro- coastal areas. Keep hydrated and safe.
