With Hurricane Helene gone, South Florida can relax and enjoy a sunny weekend. The WSVN report forecasts high temperatures in the low to mid-90s, a significant change from typical late-September weather.

Miami-Dade and Broward counties are currently under a Heat Advisory with anticipated feels-like temperatures soaring to a sizzling 105-110F, so residents are encouraged to take necessary precautions against the sweltering heat, as per the National Weather Service.

While Saturday may bring about some isolated showers, particularly in the latter hours of the day, Sunday is looking to shine with minimal chances of rain, letting the sun dominate the sky, according to a WSVN report.

The National Weather Service paints a similar picture, foretelling that showers might sprinkle the South Florida scene come weekday, with a merely 20 to 40 percent chance of precipitation between Monday and Wednesday nights and temperatures persistently hovering around the high 80s to 90-degree threshold.

A tropical disturbance watch is in effect as the National Hurricane Center monitors the western Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico for potential development, with a formation chance of 40 percent. While the future path of this system remains uncertain, it could impact the region's weather in the late weeks of next week, as detailed by the National Weather Service.

In the tropics, there is a medium chance of cyclonic formation near the Cape Verde Islands, along with two active systems, Hurricane Isaac and Tropical Storm Joyce. Fortunately, both storms appear to be staying over the open waters of the Atlantic and do not pose an immediate threat to land.
