South Florida braces for a sweltering Mother's Day weekend ahead

South Florida is set for a hot and sticky Mother’s Day weekend. Forecasters warn of rising temperatures and high humidity across the region. Residents can expect little relief until rain arrives early next week. The NEXT Weather Team has issued a forecast for scorching conditions. Real temperatures will climb into the low 90s over the weekend. With humidity factored in, it will feel closer to the upper 90s.

The heat and mugginess will persist through Sunday, affecting outdoor plans for Mother’s Day. A change is expected on Monday, when rain showers return to the area. These showers should bring a slight drop in temperatures, offering some respite from the weekend’s peak heat.

The weekend’s heatwave will push feels-like temperatures near the upper 90s. Rain on Monday is likely to lower the mercury by a few degrees. Residents can look forward to cooler conditions as the new week begins.
