South Florida Braces for a Chilly, Breezy Week Before Sunshine Returns for the Weekend

Tuesday features a very cool morning, with lows in the upper 50s to mid 60s on the mainland.  Then look for lots of clouds and some showers and storms on a gusty breeze in the East Coast metro area.  The Gulf Coast will be breezy with more clouds than sun, while the Keys will see plenty of clouds and periods of showers.  Expect an elevated risk of dangerous rip currents at the Atlantic beaches.  Tuesday’s highs will only reach the upper 60s along the coast, the low 70s on the mainland, and the mid 70s in the Keys.

Wednesday will bring a chilly morning, with lows in the mid-50s to low-60s on the mainland.  The day will be cloudy around South Florida, with gusty breezes and periods of showers.  An afternoon storm is possible in spots in the East Coast metro area.  Wednesday’s highs will be mostly in the low 70s.

Thursday will feature a cool morning, with lows in the upper 50s to mid 60s on the mainland.  Then look for clouds and showers in the East Coast metro area and the Keys.  The Gulf Coast will see clouds and a few showers in the morning and mostly sunny skies in the afternoon.  Thursday’s highs will be in the mid-70s in the East Coast metro area and the Keys and in the upper 70s along the Gulf Coast.

Friday morning will be cool again, with lows in the upper 50s to mid 60s on the mainland.  The day will be mostly sunny on the mainland, but don’t rule out a stray shower in the East Coast metro area.  Look for plenty of sun in the Keys.  Friday’s highs will be in the mid-70s in the East Coast metro area and the Keys and in the upper-70s along the Gulf Coast.

Saturday’s forecast calls for another cool start, followed by lots of sun around South Florida.  Highs on Saturday will be in the upper 70s in the East Coast metro area and the Keys and near 80 degrees along the Gulf Coast.
