A warmer Wednesday is ahead across South Florida with forecast high temperatures in the upper 80s.
It will be mainly dry with only isolated showers and we need the rain, especially with the Highway 41 Fire continuing to burn along Tamiami Trail west of Krome Avenue.

Air quality is good as of Wednesday morning, but that could change later in the day as the winds will be shifting.

The smoke from this fire is moving southwest but will be steered to the west and northwest later this afternoon as the winds will be more out of the south.
Later on Wednesday night, some of the smoke may move into some of the metro areas because the winds will start to shift in from the southwest.
As high pressure dominates our weather pattern, a drier and hotter weather pattern will be in place the rest of the week as highs soar to 90 degrees Thursday with plenty of sunshine.

We’ll kick off the month of May on Friday with temperatures above average in the low 90s and the potential for near-record highs.
The breeze will build on Saturday, and the rain chances will rise on Sunday with the potential for scattered showers and thunderstorms.
More rain is expected early next week on Monday into Tuesday with highs closer to normal in the mid-80s.
