Cool Start Becomes A Nice Beach Day

cool

coolSouth Florida’s weather is on the cool side on Saturday, but a gradual warm up is around the corner. After morning lows in the unseasonable 50s, Saturday features good sun and blue skies along with a cool breeze. Dry and breezy weather mean ideal conditions for brush fires, and western suburbs of northern Miami-Dade and Broward will smell the smoke from the one burning west of US-27. We’ll also see a moderate risk of dangerous rip currents at the Atlantic beaches on Saturday. Saturday’s highs will be in the upper 70s.

Sunday morning will be a bit warmer, with lows mostly in the low 60s. The day will bring good sun and just few clouds. Highs on Sunday will be around the 80 degree mark.

We’ll see an ocean breeze and more seasonable temperatures starting on Monday. Highs will be in the low 80s as Monday features lots of sun, a few clouds, and maybe a stray coastal shower on the breeze. The risk of dangerous rip currents will be elevated during the first half of the workweek.

Tuesday’s forecast includes more of the same — good sun, along with a few clouds and maybe a shower on the ocean breeze. Tuesday’s highs will be in the low 80s.

Look for another day of ocean breezes, plenty of sun, and a few clouds on Wednesday. Highs on Wednesday will be in the low 80s..
