South Florida Weather: Sunny Skies Precede a Stormy Front This Weekend

Thursday features sunny skies around South Florida — but we can’t rule out a stray shower in spots in the Keys.  A high risk of dangerous rip currents remains along the Palm Beach County coast through Friday, and there’s a moderate rip current risk at the beaches of Broward and Miami-Dade.  Thursday’s highs will be in the upper 80s near the Atlantic coast, in the low 90s in suburban locations on the East Coast, and in the mid-80s along the Gulf Coast and in the Keys.

Friday will bring a nice mix of sun and clouds in the East Coast, while the Gulf Coast and the Keys will see lots of sun again.  A high risk of dangerous rip currents remains along the Palm Beach County coast.  Expect an elevated rip current risk at the beaches of Broward and Miami-Dade.  Friday’s highs will be near 90 degrees on the East Coast and in the mid-80s along the Gulf Coast and in the Keys.

Saturday will feature lots of sun and just a cloud or two at times on a gusty breeze.  Saturday’s highs will be mostly in the low 90s on the East Coast, mostly in the upper 80s along the Gulf Coast, and in the mid-80s in the Keys.

Sunday will see more clouds than sun, some morning storms, and periods of showers in the afternoon.  Expect a gusty breeze near the Gulf Coast as a front moves in.  Sunday’s highs will be in the upper 80s on the East Coast, in the mid-80s along the Gulf Coast, and in the low 80s in the Keys.

Monday’s forecast calls for lots of clouds and periods of showers and storms in the East Coast, while the Gulf Coast and the Keys will see some sun, more clouds, and scattered showers and storms.  Highs on Monday will be in the mid-80s on the East Coast and in the low-80s along the Gulf Coast and in the Keys.
