🏜️ It’s back! Saharan dust from Africa made the long trek across the Atlantic and will soon move into Florida. It can cause a hazy sky at times. It's also known to dry out the atmosphere, limiting development of tropical systems.

🔥 A shift in the winds will send a plume of smoke from an Everglades wildfire into the metro areas of Miami-Dade and Broward County, Florida. Some areas can expect a strong smell by Thursday morning with poor air quality. Here's what you should know...

[Brandon Orr @BrandonOrrWPLG]

A wildfire is exploding in size along Tamiami Trail, just west of Miccosukee in Miami-Dade County, Florida. A large smoke plume is blowing into the Everglades, but a wind shift is expected Wednesday night that would blow this smoke in the metro areas of Miami and Ft. Lauderdale.

🌪️ After a storm survey, damage in Miami-Dade's Palm Springs North community was consistent with an EF-0 tornado. It was on the ground for 0.5 miles, less than one minute, with maximum winds of 85mph. This was around 4:45pm Tuesday.

It’s the dry season in Miami but apparently not during Ultra weekend

As South Florida nears the point of mandatory water restrictions from the "extreme" drought, back-to-back storm systems will dump more than half a foot of rain for some areas through next week.

It's time to spring forward one hour Sunday morning. We will lose an hour of sleep, but sunsets will be much later in the day.

A massive warehouse fire is burning just outside of Miami and Fort Lauderdale with a toxic plume of smoke blowing over residential areas of Miramar. Workers inside the warehouse tell us they saw a small fire in a roll of turf spreading to nearby fertilizer and other chemicals.

Rain! It’s not much but nice to see some showers developing in the Florida Everglades.

[Brandon Orr @BrandonOrrWPLG]

A 25,000+ acre wildfire is ongoing in South Florida along Alligator Alley. Officials are monitoring flames near the roadway to make sure embers don’t jump and spark spot fires on the north side.

[Brandon Orr @BrandonOrrWPLG]

Parts of Florida will go from record heat near 90° this weekend to another winter blast for the work week. Could this be the last major cold front of the season?

[Brandon Orr @BrandonOrrWPLG]

SpaceX is launching a rocket from Florida Friday morning at 5:15am and it should put on a good show. Look off to the east over the Atlantic.

[Brandon Orr @BrandonOrrWPLG]

Who is over it? 🙋‍♂️ ANOTHER cold front is dropping wind chills to the 30s Friday morning across South Florida.
