The NEXT Weather Team is monitoring an active wildfire in northwestern Broward County named the “Buggy Fire”. The latest update from the Florida Forest Service indicates the fire located near the Holey Land Wildlife Management Area started on Saturday and burned 3,500 acres. It’s 0% contained.
Reduced visibility due to smoke will be possible along I-75 and Alligator Alley on Sunday.
