☂️ Tropical Moisture Moving Into Florida

Friday features an early mix of sun and clouds, followed by plenty of showers and storms as tropical moisture moves into South Florida.   Look out for periods of heavy rain, and some localized flooding is possible.  A moderate risk of dangerous rip currents is in place at the Atlantic beaches.  Highs on Friday will be near 90 degrees in the east coast metro area and the low 90s to the west — but it will feel at least 10 degrees hotter, so stay hydrated.
