A Very Warm New Year’s Eve For South Florida

Friday starts with early fog around South Florida, with a Dense Fog Advisory for western portions of our area until 10 am.  When the fog is gone, we’ll see plenty of warm sun and a few clouds as we count down to the end of 2021.  A moderate risk of dangerous rip currents remains along the Palm Beach County coast.  New Year’s Eve will be warm and dry.  Friday’s highs will be mostly in the mid-80s.
