South Florida Braces for Sunny Skies and Dangerous Rip Currents

Thursday features a cool morning, followed by more clouds than sun and a gusty breeze in the east coast metro area, and plenty of sun and some clouds on a gusty breeze along the Gulf coast and in the Keys.  A high risk of dangerous rip currents remains at the Atlantic beaches through at least Thursday evening.  Thursday’s highs will be in the mid-70s along the Atlantic coast and in the Keys, while the rest of South Florida will reach the upper 70s.

Friday will bring morning lows in the upper 50s to low 60s on the mainland.  Then look for another sunny day along the Gulf coast, with a gusty breeze, while the east coast metro area will see good sun with a few clouds and showers.  Look for mostly sunny skies in the Keys.  Expect an elevated risk of dangerous rip currents at the Atlantic beaches.  Friday’s highs will be in the upper 70s in the East Coast metro area and the Keys and near 80 degrees along the Gulf coast.

Saturday will feature another cool morning, with lows in the upper 50s and the low 60s on the mainland.  Then look for lots of sun and maybe a cloud or two at times around South Florida.  Saturday’s highs will be in the low 80s on the mainland and near 80 degrees in the Keys.

Sunday will start with lows in the low to mid 60s on the mainland.  Then we’ll see another Sunday day throughout South Florida.  Sunday’s highs will be mostly in the low 80s.

Monday’s forecast calls for another cool morning, followed by lots of sun on the mainland and a nice mix of sun and clouds in the Keys.  Highs on Monday will be in the low 80s on the mainland and the upper 70s in the Keys.
