A trailing cold front will continue to make its way towards South Florida.
While most of the severe storm potential is expected to stay to the north of us, scattered showers will pop up on Thursday afternoon/evening with a few thunderstorms in the works. Storm hazards include frequent lightning, gusty winds and downpours.

This front will clear out by Thursday night bringing in less humid air on a northwest breeze. Unfortunately, the dry air will stir up more brush fire concerns across South Florida. Smoke conditions are lingering due to a brush fire burning in Pembroke Pines near US 27. If the fire continues to burn through Friday, the northwest winds will push the smoke towards the southeast and into the metro areas.
