Florida to trade extreme heat for tropical rain
After a heat wave bakes Florida through the weekend, tropical rainfall will drench the Sunshine State next week. Heat index readings in the triple-digits are expected across much of the Florida Peninsula until about Tuesday. That's when heavy rain from a low in the Gulf of Mexico will arrive and bring the threat of flooding.
