"People who are specifically sensitive to the dust can have worsened allergies," said a meteorologist with the National Weather Service.
Happy Saturday,, South Florida!Hopefully everyone has had a nice start to the weekend! After starting the week off with stormy conditions,
Much of Florida takes a break from the storms, and Saharan dust takes over, making the temperatures soar. At least the dust gives us gorgeous sunrises and sunsets. Hydrate! pic.twitter.com/jc9NrYiizN

FOX 35 Orlando on MSNFOX 35 Weather Impact Day: Central Florida under heat advisory through Tuesday
ORLANDO, Fla. - Temperatures will sizzle back in the mid 90s for the weekend and early next week. The humidity will really make things feel hot with heat indices reaching levels as high as 110°+. Heat advisories will most likely be issued for this weekend and possibly early parts of next week.
Otherwise, Miami-Dade and Broward counties, and the Keys, can expect partly cloudy skies and southeast winds (5 to 10 mph) as a touch of Saharan dust moves over the area.
Saharan dust may be chipping away at the current tropical system, but experts say it usually winds down before August.
Scattered showers and storms will move across parts of South Florida with the potential for some heavy downpours and localized flooding. The Weather Prediction Center has placed Broward, and most of Miami-Dade, under a marginal (level 1) risk of flash flooding.
At least in the short term, the tropics should remain quiet, according to both the National Hurricane Center and AccuWeather.
