Tuesday features mostly sunny skies around South Florida, but the East Coast metro area could also see a stray shower in spots.  An elevated risk of dangerous rip currents remains along the Palm Beach County coast.  Highs on Tuesday will be in the mid-80s along the Atlantic coast and the Keys, while the rest of South Florida will reach the upper 80s.

Wednesday will bring lots of sun and a few clouds to the East Coast metro area, while the Gulf Coast will see a brisk breeze and sunny skies.  Look for a nice mix of sun and clouds in the Keys.  Wednesday’s highs will be in the mid-80s.

Thursday will feature sunny skies and a brisk and gusty breeze on the mainland as a front moves through.  The Keys will see mostly sunny skies.  Thursday’s highs will be in the low 80s on the East Coast, the upper 70s along the Gulf Coast, and near 80 degrees in the Keys.

Friday morning will be cool, with lows in the low 60s on the mainland.  The day will be sunny but on the cool side.  Look for pleasantly spooky weather for Halloween festivities during the evening.  Friday’s highs will be in the upper 70s.

Faith Based Events

Saturday’s forecast calls for another cool morning, followed by lots of sun on the mainland and clouds and a few showers in the Keys.  Highs on Saturday will be in the low 80s in the East Coast metro area and the upper 70s along the Gulf Coast and in the Keys.

We continue to watch Hurricane Melissa as it moves over Jamaica and approaches eastern Cuba.  Days of heavy rain and now extremely dangerous hurricane conditions are expected to cause deadly flooding and mudslides, catastrophic wind damage, and life-threatening storm surge in the region.  While Melissa will weaken as it moves over land, it will maintain hurricane strength as it moves through portions of the Bahamas on Wednesday and accelerates towards Bermuda on Thursday.
