An Early Taste of Winter – Florida Style

Tuesday features the passage of a cold front, so look for lots of sun and a cool and gusty breeze that will make it feel cooler than the thermometer reading.  A high risk of dangerous rip currents is in place along the Palm Beach County coast, and there’s a moderate rip current risk at the beaches of Broward and Miami-Dade and along the Gulf coast.  Highs on Tuesday will be mostly in the low 70s, with a few locations reaching the mid-70s.
